What is the Christlike response to the Israel and Palestine conflict – and why are so many Christians getting it wrong? To investigate this, I pick the brain of pastor, theologian, homiletics professor, and longtime missionary Alex Awad.
Born in East Jerusalem in 1946, Professor Awad was two years old when the state of Israel arose. That same year, his father was shot dead by Israeli forces; soon after, his surviving family joined the many Palestinian refugees expelled from their homes for Israeli gain. But despite the immensity of historical and continual Palestinian suffering, Professor Awad harbors no bitterness toward the Israeli people. As you’ll hear, he merely carries a desire to correct the many theological lies that underlie the American church’s blind support of Israel, as well as a God-given hope for peace and reconciliation.
Professor Awad and I address common misconceptions about Israel/Palestine history, dispensationalism and other pro-Israel interpretations of end times prophecy, the problem with replacement theology, and the breakthroughs made possible when we embrace the compassionate nonviolence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
