| Description: |
Although the "politicisation" of religion or "sacrilization" of politics is not restricted to the Middle East, this phenomenon found spectacular expressions in the region. This title examines the complex relation between political and national identity and the three major religions of the contemporary Middle East - Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. |
| Synopsis: |
Although the "politicization" of religion or "sacrilization" of politics is not restricted to the Middle East, this phenomenon found its most spectacular expressions in the region. These essays examine, in an original and innovative manner, the complex relation between political and national identity and the three major religions of the contemporary Middle East - Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Although the focus is on Palestinian-Israeli relations, the study is relevant to the entire history of the modern Middle East. The contributors, an international group of scholars from Israel, Palestine, Europe, and the United States, explore common theological and political ground shared by Jews and Muslims, a novel comparative approach that could lead to future dialogue along theological as well as political lines. |
