Our guest is Munther Isaac (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munther_Isaac) , a Palestinian minister and theologian based in the West Bank who runs the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice (https://bipj.org/) . He gained international attention for his Christmas 2023 sermon, Christ in the Rubble (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=854135726497249&ref=sharing) . We talk about Palestinian life in the West Bank, Munther’s critique of Christian Zionism, his views of Hamas and his interview with Tucker Carlson.

Topics include:

How Isaac’s understanding of scripture leads him to a very different worldview than American conservative Christians like Mike Huckabee

Maintaining faith in a just God in an unjust world

Christian-Islamic relations within Palestine

Responding to the argument that a Muslim-dominated Palestine would oppress other religions

The argument that resistance should be non-violent

How to think about Tucker Carlson
