"The book is the first comprehensive attempt to study and develop a hermeneutic of liberation in the context of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land. It analyses the importance of culture, ethnicity, race, gender, ideiology, theology, and politics vis-à-vis the processes of comprehension, analysis, interpretation, and contextualization of the Bible"--Provided by publisher.
