Look for Jean Zaru's new book (Fortress), Occupied with Nonviolence. Jean Zaru is a longtime activist and Quaker leader from Ramallah. Here she brings home the pain and central convictions that animate Christian nonviolence and activity today. Zaru vividly paints the complex realities faced by all parties in Palestine - Jews and Muslims and Christians, Israelis and Palestinians, women and men.
Covenantal Conversations (Fortress, 2008) says the Holy Land conflict is a case study in how Christians should do theological/social/political conversation with Jewish neighbors.
