A Guide to Listening and Speaking Well About Israel and Palestine
Strong feelings and differing but deeply held theological interpretations can prevent churches from engaging with the complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict, for fear of generating more heat than light or causing disunity within their own communities.
This four-week course is here to help. Designed for churches and small groups, it offers:
- Differing theological interpretations on key scriptural passages from Paul’s Letter to the Romans
- History snapshots covering pivotal moments in the conflict
- Discussion points creating space for dialogue from different viewpoints
It won’t give you all the answers, but it will equip you to create space for conversation to deepen understanding and help people see through another’s eyes.
