Biblical Interpretation in the Context of the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Gordon Matties
Because
of the many topics related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and how those topics
intersect with biblical interpretation, this bibliography cannot be
comprehensive. On biblical theology of land please check the fuller
bibliographies in Brueggemann, Habel and Janzen. On the land in Christian
thought, check the fuller bibliographies in the books by March, Merkley, Prior,
Wagner, Weber, Wilkin, and in the issue of Immanuel noted below. I have
not begun creating separate sections on how biblical interpretation is related
to the history of anti-Semitism and the Church, on dispensationalism (see
Weber, Sizer, Johnston and Walker), on the relationship of Judaism and
Christianity, and on Christian interpretation of Old Testament prophetic texts
as they are sometimes understood to have a bearing on contemporary events in
Israel/Palestine (i.e. as predictions of current events). Some of these items
are listed in bibliographies in Wagner and March, whose bibliographies are
topically organized.
