Doing Justice: Palestine/Israel ONLINE

POSTPONED

This course has been postponed in light of the most recent developments. Please contact the Center for Lifelong Learning at lifelonglearning@ctsnet.edu if you have any questions.

Course Description: Doing Justice: Israel and Palestine will explore three Christian responses to Biblical and contemporary Palestine and Israel. We will study how different interpretations of historical events influence how one reads the Bible, how one interprets and relates to the contemporary realities in Israel and Palestine, and how one relates with Christians, Jews and Muslims in the United States, and the implications of these interpretations. Participants will be invited to thoughtfully and critically reflect on their own theology and perspectives as they relate to the land of the Bible and its people.

This course is part of the Contemporary Holy Land Education Initiative, sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) through a grant from the Israel Palestine Mission Network. The purpose is to equip Christians with a working knowledge of the region and its people through interactive education in order to make more informed decisions related to theology, faith, and action. Course materials are provided by Fuller Seminary via their Fuller Equip platform. Participants will receive information for accessing course materials prior to the course.
