Description
This is a timely ethnographic study of Palestinian liberation theology, focusing on the role of women and laypeople in shaping the work of Sabeel, a centre based in Jerusalem.
Utilizing ethnographic methods, this book moves beyond scholarly commentary on texts published by Palestinian theologians in order to uncover the significant contributions of the laypeople, particularly laywomen, who co-founded Palestinian liberation theology.
Klassen explores the vital stories, spiritual practices, and activism of women who shaped Palestinian liberation theology and continue to develop this theology today. Through extended interviews with the laypeople who shaped this movement, the voices of women take center stage. Mary, Mother of God, emerges as a female exemplar and resource for liberation. This book further traces what a Marian approach to Palestinian liberation theology would entail.
The final chapters consider how Palestinian liberation theology is re-interpreted and put into practice amid shifting politics in Israel-Palestine. From COVID-19, to sustaining an ever-shrinking Christian population, to the devastation of Gaza, Palestinian Christians continue to wrestle with what liberation theology means in their present context.
The insights and practices of this theological movement are essential not only for establishing a just peace in Israel-Palestine, they also challenge the broader church by calling her to solidarity.
