About the Book

The Reverend Canon Naim Ateek, a Palestinian and an Episcopal priest, writes of the Palestinians' dispossession of their land during his lifetime leading Canon Ateek to embrace a groundbreaking theology of liberation for his people. Told in his own words, Canon Ateek weaves his personal story within the context of ever-increasing injustices endured by the Palestinian people under Israeli rule and occupation. His story is a gift to all those who wish to understand what justice requires in the seventy-five years since the Nakba (catastrophe) that befell the Palestinian people in 1948 in the creation of the State of Israel, and the enduring occupation that has been imposed on them since 1967.

About the Author :
Naim Stifan Ateek, an Episcopal priest of the diocese of Jerusalem, is cofounder and former director of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center based in Jerusalem, with a satellite office in Nazareth. He served as Canon of St. George's Cathedral in Jerusalem and is the author of the groundbreaking book, Justice and Only Justice, a treatise of liberation theology for the Palestinian people which, according to Sabeel's website, is "based on love, justice, peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities."

Review :
"A delightful reading of the origins of Palestinian Liberation theology as a lived-in response to the real-life situation of a Palestinian Christian clergyman, this book is a rich tapestry of the life, ministry, and mission of Naiim Ateek and the creation of Sabeel Ecumenical Center and its activities. An eminently readable and enjoyable book as it educates, informs, and inspires readers." --Jonathan Kuttab, executive director, Friends of Sabeel North America "This powerful and evocative decolonial memoir reveals in personal terms the cost of injustice for the Palestinian people and the challenging conditions that inhibit possibilities for finding lasting peace. This book is a must-read for those interested in the contexts and conditions that gave birth to Palestinian liberation theology and the birth of an international movement resisting the occupation." --Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook, editor-in-chief, Anglican and Episcopal History "Naim Ateek has every reason to write an angry, revengeful book denouncing the colonial Brits, the right-wing Americans, and the Israeli occupiers. Instead, he draws from his Christian faith to call for justice and reconciliation. Why are we, including so many in our Churches, unable to hear?" --Michael Doe, assistant bishop, Diocese of Southwark "Powerful. Personal. Poignant. Palestine. A visceral firsthand autobiographical account. Here is Assis Naim Ateek at his most vulnerable and thus at his most prophetic. As a truth teller, he lays bare the origins and the deadly consequences of the Zionist project to illegally occupy Palestine. As justice seeker, he urges his readers ever toward the moral high ground; his is the deeply compassionate and faith-filled voice of a truly holy man of God." --Jenny Te Paa Daniel, te mareikura (woman visionary), National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, Otago University Naim Ateek's memoir, spanning the history of the Palestinian catastrophe and the birth of the state of Israel, is expansive in its breadth yet detailed in its markings. Through trial and tribulation, Ateek is firm and open, justice-seeking, and compassionate. We the readers embark with Ateek on a journey of despair and hope where faith is tried and honed." --Marc H. Ellis, author of First Light: Encountering Edward Said and the Late-Style Jewish Prophetic in the New Diaspora
