JERUSALEM: WHAT MAKES FOR PEACE!
A PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN CONTRIBUTION TO PEACEMAKING
edited by Naim Ateek, Cedar Duaybis and Marla Schrader

This volume contains papers given at a conference held in Jerusalem in 1996 under the auspices of Sabeel Liberation Theology Center. The conference theme was 'The Significance of Jerusalem for Christians and of Christians for Jerusalem'. Participants came from both Palestine and overseas to discuss this complex and urgent issue.

The aim was to raise the consciousness of the international community about Christian concerns for the future status of the Holy City. Furthermore, it sought, as recorded in this work, to foster relationships and to stand in solidarity with Palestinian Christians at this critical time.

The papers published here cover a wide range of pressing matters. As well as aspects of Christian spirituality and theologies of Jerusalem, the local Christian community's position is examined in terms of its Diaspora, demographic changes, heritage, and the allocation of land and environmental degradation. Not only is there emphasis on the complexity of the problem but this work also expresses a prophetic vision for a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel.
