Recommended publications
  • V Alidating V Iolence
    In this book scholars from Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions explore violence in religious scriptures. In twelve chapters, they grapple with the problem of how to deal with the phenomenon of violence when it appears within the scriptures and traditions of particular religious faiths. The writers identify the violent language, imagery, story and ideology which reside deep within these texts. Some chapters offer detailed exegetical examination of key passages, whilst other chapters offer theological explorations of the is- sue. The volume ends with a conclusion which offers some general observa- tions on the hermeneutical strategies employed in dealing with these texts. Validating Violence - Violating Faith? - Violating Violence Validating “This important collection of essays deals deftly with the issue of religiously inspired political violence and the complicity of the churches and the founda- tional texts of Christianity in self-serving rationalisations of death and destruc- ValidatingValidating ViolenceViolence tion.

  • Statement by Australian Church Leaders
    HEADS OF CHURCHES STATEMENT ON PALESTINE AND ISRAEL “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” It’s time for the Australian Government to shift gear on Palestine and Israel. It’s time for Australia to become much more active in the cause of peace in the Holy Land. In this week of International Church Action for Peace in Palestine and Israel, we Australian church leaders call on our Government to give much higher priority to working for peace in the Holy Land. The people of Israel and Palestine desperately need and want peace. The world desperately needs peace in the Holy Land. Palestinians have suffered 60 years of dispossession, 41 years of military occupation, land confiscation and illegal settlements, and thousands of violent deaths. Israelis have suffered 60 years of armed hostilities and constant threats, scores of suicide bombings and rocket attacks, and thousands of violent deaths. Insecurity and polarisation are the chief features of life in Palestine and Israel. For Palestinians, disputes over land, roads, farms, water and military checkpoints go on and on; poverty, unemployment and restrictions on economic development hold sway. For Israelis the ever-present fear of suicide bombers and the threats from other nations in the region create daily anxiety. After decades of conflict and tension, there is little reason for optimism or even hope. Resentment and hatred continue to grow. The cycle of violence continues. In a major speech delivered to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute on 9 April, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Stephen Smith MP, gave an overview of Australian foreign policy.
