Overview

This book is a succinct primer on liberation theology in the context of the struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom and self-determination. Since Israeli claims in Palestine rely on biblical interpretation to support their actions, Ateek provides a counter-strategy for interpreting scripture that emphasizes themes of inclusivity and justice. He concludes by providing principles for achieving peace and justice in Israel/Palestine.
