The Bible’s Role in Settler Colonialism: A Focus on Palestine and Beyond
Join us for an illuminating panel discussion featuring Rev. Mitri Raheb, a Palestinian Christian theologian and author of “Decolonizing Palestine: The Land, The People, The Bible,” alongside Dr. Kwok Pui-lan, a distinguished Asian American Feminist Theologian. Together, we will embark on a critical examination of how Western interpretations of the Bible have perpetuated settler colonialism and oppressed the Palestinian people. Our discussion aims to highlight the urgent need to decolonize our perspectives. By raising our awareness, we can identify how biblical narratives have been weaponized against Palestinians and communities across the Global South. Join us as we explore strategies to dismantle these oppressive structures and cultivate a more inclusive and just theological framework.
