ISRAEL PALESTINE IN WORLD RELIGIONS - S ILAN TR...

The struggle over Israel Palestine is not just another contest by competing nationalisms or an
instance of geopolitical competition. It is also about control of sacred territory that
involves local Jews  Muslims  and Christians as well as worldwide faith communities  each with
their own interests and stake in what transpires. This balanced introduction to a complex
subject presents the multiple positions within the great monotheistic traditions. It
demonstrates that the secular discourses in the public square concerning ownership privileges 
historical precedence  political rights  and justice that have allegedly replaced religious
claims actually coexist with  and often complement  the theological. It explores the
century-long tangle of secular and theological debates about Israel's legitimacy. Whether
readers support a Jewish state or are resolutely opposed  the serious and substantial
scholarship of this well-reasoned and innovative book will contribute to a nuanced and
better-informed understanding of this persistent issue that has entered its second century on
the international agenda.
