| Samenvatting: | This book is primarily about people. It is a collection of gestimonies which mediate the message of peace. People - Arabs, Jews and Christians - talk about their longing for peace and their life-long involvement in the mission of reconciliation. They speak with honesty and convictions and, as they tell their stories, they destroy stereotypes and challenge attitudes that have long resisted change. These people belong to the holy land, holy for all these religious groups. They live in a seemingly intractable situation of conflict. That's what makes their stories all the more striking, and deeply moving. Carol J. Birkland, who interviewd these people, is secretary for interpretation with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Minneapolis, USA. |
