This panel features scholarly engagement with Munther Isaac’s theological reflections on the role of Christian discourse in shaping responses to the crisis in Gaza. Writing as a Palestinian pastor and theologian, Isaac challenges dominant Western Christian narratives that, he argues, have long sustained a colonial project marked by displacement and discrimination since the nineteenth century. Through close readings of biblical texts and historical analysis, Isaac calls for a critical reassessment of the ways Christian theology can either obscure or illuminate structures of violence and inequality. Panelists will consider the broader implications of Isaac’s work for contemporary theological ethics and the politics of solidarity within Christian thought.
