"Justice and only justice you shall follow that you may inherit the land which the Lord your God gives you." - Deuteronomy 16:20
Writing as a Palestinian Christian who has lived most of his life in Israel-Palestinian, Naim Ateek examines the prospects and problems facing the Palestinian Christian community. Justice and Only Justice offers a theology for Palestinian Christians, caught in the seemingly intractable conflicts in the most volatile area of the Middle East. Exploring the biblical and theological issues as well as the historical ones facing the Christian community, and all the victims of war and oppression, Ateek seeks to promote reconciliation, for, as he writes "What is at stake in the political conflict over the West Bank and Gaza is nothing less than the way we understand God."
