Abstract

This article examines theological positions by some of the most prominent Messianic Jewish and Palestinian Christian authors, who have contributed in significant ways to their respective communities’ theological understanding of the land most commonly referred to as Israel-Palestine. Based on selected representative works, the author’s goal is to assess the potential, or lack thereof, for fruitful dialogue and theological reconciliation that these theological positions have in themselves. The focus, therefore, is on moral and practical aspects of these theologies, particularly whether they create space for the “other” and relate to them as a brother/sister in Christ and as a legitimate neighbor in the land.
