The Other Side of the Wall

A Palestinian Christian Narrative of Lament and Hope

De: Munther Isaac

Narrado por: Neil Shah

Christians have lived in Palestine since the earliest days of the Jesus movement. The Palestinian church predates Islam. Yet Palestinian Christians find themselves marginalized and ostracized. In the heated tensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the voices of Palestinian Christians are often unheard and ignored. This remarkable book provides an opportunity to hear the realities of life on the ground from a leading Palestinian pastor and theologian.

Munther Isaac gives the perspective of Palestinian Christians on the other side of the separation wall surrounding most Palestinian West Bank cities today. Isaac laments the injustices suffered by the Palestinian people but holds out hope for a just peace and ways to befriend and love his Jewish and Muslim neighbors. In contrast to the dominant religious and nationalistic ideologies and agendas for the region, he offers a theology of the land and a vision for a shared land that belongs to God, where there are no second-class citizens of any kind.

Wonderful Message from a Great Man!

As a a devout Muslim, I never thought I would be listening to a Christian reverend’s book but it’s a detailed examination of life as. Palestinian. Revered Munther is a beacon of hope and light in this very dark world. May the Christian Zionists wake up to his powerful message.

Preaching for the Glory of God.

This book contains theology that ought to be taught wherever Christian theology is offered. My experience reading it has begun a transformation in my theology for the better.The most powerful thoughts in this book are biblically inspired. If you need hope or inspiration read and apply or at least confront the topics discussed within it.

Following Christ in the Holy Land

Insightfully informed by experience, history, and the Bible, Rev Dr Munther Isaac calls us to love our neighbour and seek justice for all. The theology presented here is applicable beyond the Middle East – in our broken world, Christians must seek God’s kingdom with humility and courage.

Outstanding

This was incredibly eye opening. I will undoubtably carry Munther Isaac’s words with me for a long, long time and return to this text.

Thought-provoking

Excellent theological exploration of Palestinian suffering and the problematic theology behind Christian Zionism by someone who lives and works in the area.
