Pullen July Summer Book Club: July 28 at 12:15 pm in 203

Join Rev. Ian following worship for a discussion of Decolonizing Palestine: The Land, the People, the Bible by Mitri Raheb. This book challenges the weaponization of biblical texts to support the current settler-colonial state of Israel. Raheb argues that some of the most important theological concepts –Israel, the land, election, and chosen people – must be decolonized in a paradigm shift in Christian theological thinking about Palestine. Written by a native Palestinian Christian theologian (the most widely published to date) who continues to live in the region, Decolonizing Palestine provides an insider’s perspective that disrupts hegemonic and imperialist narratives about the region.

A light lunch will be provided for those who can join in person (Room 307), so please RSVP via Realm. Others can join the conversation via Zoom; the link is included on Realm.
