Naim Stifan Ateek, A Palestinian Theology of Liberation: The Bible, Justice, and the Palestine-Israel Conflict (Orbis Books, 2017).

It was quite apt and appropriate that A Palestinian Theology of Liberation was published in 2017, very much anticipating 2018 as the 70^thanniversary of the founding of the state of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba in 1948. The violence in Gaza, and elsewhere, in the early months of 2018 have illuminated, in a graphic and raw manner, the fact that the tragedy does ever continue in an unabated way and manner. The sheer beauty and strength of A Palestinian Theology of Liberation is the way Naim Ateek, building on two previous books on this timely and time tried topic (Justice and Only Justice: A Palestinian Theology of Liberation and A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation) ponders, in a poignant and probing manner, the ongoing tale of two peoples. This is both a small yet large book—the pages are few but the content substantive and large.
