Synopsis

A bridge-builder. An ambassador of reconciliation. A prophetic voice, speaking truth to power. An advocate for justice, peace, and non-violence. A witness to the liberating Gospel of Jesus Christ. A servant for the suffering. Those words describe the Rt. Rev. Munib A. Younan, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land and president of The Lutheran World Federation. In the world in which he lives where Palestinians struggle for life and coexistence with their neighbor Israelis one might imagine that despair and hopelessness dominate. However, in reading Bishop Younan s writings readers will find unending hope for a future of peace and goodwill, along with an optimistic determination to be part of the solution for this troubled Holy Land. This collection of writings, speeches, and sermons reveals Bishop Younan s context, his perspective, and his hope. Readers will find his theology to be contextual deeply rooted in his daily reality as a Palestinian Christian while at the same time being universal, offering insights and principles that apply to other situations in vastly different parts of the world.
