Theology After Gaza: A Global Anthology

This is a book about genocide and Gaza. Gaza has become the moral compass of our world today. In this war, theology was weaponized against the Palestinian people by both Israeli politicians and Christian Zionists. It is a book inspired by Palestinian liberation theologies. The book foregrounds scholarly and practical responses to the Israeli invasion of a part of the occupied Palestinian territories widely referred to as Gaza in the media and popular discourse. However, the book also situates Gaza and Palestine in the longue duree of settler colonialism, colonialities of power, and the underside of modernity. Theology After Gaza: A Global Anthology is fruit of the urgency of the time. Inspired by Palestinian liberation theologies, it articulates some of the "death of God," and the moral and ethical outrage familiar to those versed in Western Christianity and theology. It also explores Gaza as an exteriority--an exteriority to Western Christianity and theology, to the international system, and as a counter witness to Zionism. This anthology is the first-of-its-kind, timely, and relevant contribution that tackles a relevant issue of global importance with well-known authors and prolific writers, including Jewish and Muslim scholars.
