- Summary:
- Palestine is a theological and psycho-social reflection on the current politics of the Holy Land. Beginning with the story of Samson and the slaying of the Philistines, it looks at the relationship between Palestinians (Philistines) and the children of Israel in the light of biblical history, and the understanding each group has of its own identity.
- This book is written with great compassion: no less towards the yearning Jew longing for the vision of Canaan to be true, than for the disinherited Palestinian. It finishes with a strong assertion of the importance of the dwindling Palestinian Christian community, and the contribution Christian thinking on reconciliation and forgiveness has to offer in what often seems to be a no-win situation.
