Video Description
Munther Isaac joined Religion and Public Life to discuss his book Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and the Genocide in Gaza, which challenges mainstream Christians’ uncritical embrace of the modern State of Israel. A Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian, Isaac writes from Bethlehem with close-up knowledge of conditions on the ground. Rooted in a commitment to nonviolence and just peace, Isaac urged listeners to bring a Christian theological criticism to bear upon colonialism, racism, and empire, and to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ—who can be found not among perpetrators of violence, but with victims buried under the rubble of war.
