from Part 2 - LIBERATION THEOLOGY
Palestine Liberation Theology, or as The Rev. Dr Nairn Ateek calls it, ‘Palestinian Christian Theology’ or ‘Palestinian Theology of Liberation’, has come out of the times of challenge that began in 1948 – times that even more deeply impacted the Palestinian Christian community following the Six Day War in 1967. Dr Ateek wrote, ‘Any theology of liberation must of necessity address the issue of justice. It is, after all, the major issue for Palestinians regardless of their religious affiliation’ (Ateek 1989: 75) Like the people of South and Central America, the Palestinian Christians were faced with life and death issues, not only on a personal level, but on a community and church level. The thriving Christian community that existed prior to the 1948 Partition Plan, in the 1960s – and even more so, the Palestinian Christian community today – has become a mere remnant of itself. How to resurrect the people of the resurrection, was (and to some extent still is) the overall abiding question.
