Through Palestinian Eyes...Contemporary Christianity in the Middle East

Mitri Raheb looks more closely at the rise and fall of Middle Eastern Christianity, the political situation in Israel Palestine, and the migration, displacement and resilience of contemporary Christians in the Middle East.

With a public lecture: Faith in the Face of Empire - The Bible through Palestinian Eyes.

There are two incontrovertible facts about Jesus, often forgotten: Jesus was a Jew; Jesus was Palestinian.
