Cover of A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation

A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation

This sequel to Justice and Only Justice is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on events since the Intifada of 1987, including the violence that has come from Israel's aggression and from the use of suicide bombers by Palestinians. The second part of the book draws on scripture, raising up biblical figures such as Samson, Jonah, Daniel, and Jesus as it examines issues of ownership of the land. In the final section, Ateek presents a strategy to achieve peace and justice nonviolently that will promote justice for the Palestinians and security for both Israel and Palestine.
