Week 4

Many Christian theologians write about Palestine from minds that are colonized with the Bible and a Westernized narrative. They write as if Palestine were an ancient land that exists in a vacuum; they strip it of its sociopolitical context—of its real people—and they rarely think about how this theology has and is being used to enhance settler colonialism. These colonized minds reinforce the continuing colonization of Palestine.
