| Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: From Theological to Secular Claims.- Part I: Secular Claims.- Chapter 1: Conquest, Treaties and Self-Determination.- Chapter 2: From Discovery to Rediscovery.- Chapter 3: Possession and Dispossession through Labor and Purchase.- Chapter 4: History as Legitimacy.- Part II: Theological Claims.- Chapter 5: Judaism; A Multiplicity of Interpretations.- Chapter 6: Christianity; A Kaleidoscope of Theologies.- Chapter 7: Islam: Encountering a Contemporary Challenge.- Part III.- Chapter 8: Concluding Reflections./ 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 |
