'It is an angry book: horrified at what Israel has been doing, but
also infuriated at other Christians' unwillingness to censure it
[...] It includes chapters representing a broad swath of
theological opinion - including a liberal rabbi, a Palestinian
Muslim, and Roman Catholic and Orthodox writers, as well as a
succession of American Protestants.'
- William Whyte, Church Times, 29th May 2015
'Although there is a great diversity of approach, the style is
accessible and welcoming even to those who are attempting to
understand the conflict for the first time.'
- Mary Grey, Modern Believing, 56.3, July 2015
'[Christians] have ignored the suffering of the Palestinian people
- and this volume is a powerful cry to stop.... The essays are very
clearly written and an excellent introduction to the topic.... This
book should be required reading for all who are concerned with the
Middle East, and especially for those who... start with an
instinctive sympathy for Israel. Collectively, the essays present a
withering indictment of that State - not only of particular
military actions or political decisions taken in its defense, but
of its very foundations.'
- Peter Waddell, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Volume 24 Issue
