Description: What role have Zionism and Christian Zionism played in shaping attitudes and driving historical development in the Middle East? How do Christians, Jews, and Muslims understand the competing claims to the land of Palestine and Israel? What steps can be taken to bring peace, reconciliation, and justice to the homeland that Palestinians and Israelis share? This study guide along with the accompanying DVD examines the role of Jewish and Christian forms of Zionism in providing theological and ideological "cover" for the takeover of Palestinian land and the domination and dispossession of the Palestinian people over the past 125 years. The goal of the resource is to help religious groups understand and engage in the theological and ethical struggle for genuine and lasting peace in the Middle East.
