In this volume, Younan presents first the historical and social context of the Palestinian situation, beginning with the not-well-known story of Arab Christianity and his own background. He elaborates his own theology of non-violence, centred in the idea of martyria — heeding a call to justice, inclusion, and forgiveness. He illustrates the notion with dramatic and often tragic episodes and shows how it can address key issues in the current struggle with Israel over statehood, land and refugees. Younan’s model of Christian non-violence also has demonstrable benefits in addressing terrorism, inter-religious strife and global peacemaking. Due June 2003
