Talk:Naim Ateek

message: There is a fair chunk of material here relating to Sabeel. I'm not sure about the relevance of the long list of donors (and have some doubts about the reason for listing them) but it's surely the case that if this and other detailed material about Sabeel belongs anywhere, it belongs on the page for Sabeel itself?

replies: text: No comments, so done. Most unduplicated material kept, except the out of date and excessive funding info, but much moved to Sabeel article, and some moved the other way because it was more about Ateek himself.Matruman (talk) 16:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Sabeel material

message: Moved from article:
Rev. Ateek dismisses the Old Testament. “Before the creation of the State [of Israel], the Old Testament was considered to be an essential part of Christian Scripture, pointing and witnessing to Jesus. Since the creation of the State, some Jewish and Christian interpreters have read the Old Testament largely as a Zionist text to such an extent that it has become almost repugnant to Palestinian Christians . . . The fundamental question of many Christians, whether uttered or not, is: How can the Old Testament be the Word of God in light of the Palestinian Christians' experience with its use to support Zionism?” (Naim Stifan Ateek, Justice, and Only Justice: A Palestinian Theology of Liberation (Maryknoll: Orbis Books, 1989), pp.77-78.)
:First sentence is not backed up by the quote - Ateek does not dismiss the OT, but sees it as part of the writers of the Bible's developing understanding of who God is. This doesn't really even belong on a talk page, will delete shortly unless there is a contrary view? Ditto the comments on the article page itself seem in need of editing for a bias - it's mostly talking points from the opposition, not an analysis of his theology.

replies: text: Sorry, see this had already been handled by changing the first sentence. As you were...Matruman (talk) 16:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: OT

message: Palestinian Liberation Theology is also known as Replacement Theology.  It holds that God's covenant with the Jews was abrogated by the coming of Christ, and replaced by the new covenant with the Church. A similar heresy arose in ancient times, its chief spokesman was Marcion (b. 144 AD,) who argued for the rejection of the Old Testament as scripture and taught that Christ was not the Son of the God of the Jews, but the Son of a good God, who was different from the God of the Ancient Covenant. (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09645c.htm) The Marcion heresy, or Replacement Theology, last resurfaced in the work of proto-Nazi theologians, notably Adolf von Harnack. It is also known as Supercessionism. Mainstream theologians perceive a worrying reappearance of replacement theology (neo-Marcionism) in the work of the Sabeel Center. (Habib C. Malik, Christians in the Land Called Holy, Copyright (c) 1998 First Things 89 (January 1999): 9-12. (http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9901/opinion/malik.html)
:Adolf von Harnack a "proto-Nazi theologian"? Read a book on the history of 20th century theology. Harnack was one of the few protestant theologians after WWI who were to support the Weimar Republic. His son and two of his nephews joined the underground resistance against the Nazis, only one of them survived. Whatever there is in criticizing Ateek (which might be legitimate), it will inevitably fail when based on flawed assumptions that connect him to the Nazis via Harnack. Besides, talk pages are to be used to discuss the improvement of articles, not to give personal opinions on general subject. Remember that. --201.250.121.83 (talk) 05:14, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
