Many Palestinian Christians claim that the \u003cb\u003enakba\u003c\/b\u003e was also spiritually catastrophic: the characters, names, events, and places of the Old Testament took on new significance with the newly formed political state, which caused vast portions of the text to become unusable in their eyes and be abandoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStalder asks how Palestinian Christians have read the Old Testament in the period before and under the British Mandate and now, in light of the foundation of the modern State of Israel, then contemplates how they might read these sacred texts in the future, interacting with proposals by Michael Prior, Charles Miller, and Gershon Nerel. His particular goal is to outline a possible hermeneutic that does not disregard the concerns of the respective religious communities without writing off the Old Testament prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Stalder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451482140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451482140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Will Stalder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088297701631,"sku":"9781451482140","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a346031-9e8a-4634-a92c-d9b67b406ac3.jpg?v=1769104133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palestinian-christians-and-the-old-will-stalder-9781451482140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
