I found Raheb’s focus on liberal Christian Zionism (rooted in post-holocaust theology) so useful. Since this is a pretty brief read (and perhaps a collection of articles/lectures), I could have used more diving into Christian Palestinian liberation theology, but I’m definitely still thinking about the pieces he did offer - especially around Jesus’s teaching on empire!

Actually can’t believe I’m the first to review this, but what an important read. There are a few aspects I would disagree with but that’s with every book. 

Highly recommend to all readers. As a Muslim, it was especially helpful, because it provided an insight on the Bible and how colonial powers have used it to settle in Palestine. 

Many more thoughts, maybe rtc
