Book Study Sign Up Now for Nov 16, 23 & 30
Join a 3-session book study of the Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb’s recent book, Decolonizing Palestine–The Land, the People, the Bible.
Time and place: Sundays before worship, 9:00-9:50 a.m., November 16, 23, 30, in the Alfred Swan room at ORUCC
A Zoom link will be provided upon registration. To register, please contact Rev. Diane Dulin at [email protected] to let her know you are planning to attend in person or via Zoom.
The book is readily available: The most recent price on Amazon.com is $9.99 for the paperback, and slightly less for the Kindle or Audio book versions. There are three copies available through Madison Public Library system.
Our discussions will center on select portions of the book. The book is not particularly long, but it is loaded with information and fresh thinking. We will focus on three areas:
- Ongoing colonialism in Palestine
- Theologies of Christian Zionism
- Biblical concepts and implications of being ‘chosen’ by God.
The book is inspiring, and is sure to generate fascinating discussion.
Discussion leader: Rev. Diane Dulin, retired UCC Minister and member of ORUCC. Diane has traveled to Palestine multiple times and has made presentations on the topics under discussion. She affirms this book has brought new insights to her mind and faith in understanding the issues at play in Palestine.
