Abstract

In Walking on the Pages of the Word of God Aron Engberg explores the religious language and identities of evangelical volunteer workers in contemporary Jerusalem. The volunteers are connected to Christian organizations which consider their work a natural consequence of the biblical promises to Israel and their responsibility to “bless the Jewish people”. Relying on ethnographic data of the discursive practices of the volunteers, the book explores a central puzzle of Zionist Christianity: the narrative production of Israel’s religious significance and its relationship to broader Christian language traditions. By focusing on the volunteers’ stories about themselves, the land and the Bible, Aron Engberg offers a convincing account about how the State of Israel is finding its way into evangelical identities.

Abstract

The history of Palestine War does not only concern military history. It also involves social, humanitarian and religious history, as in the case of Jerusalem’s Roman Catholic diocese. Tribulationis Tempore offers a complex narrative on this church, commonly portrayed as monolithically aligned with anti-Zionist and anti-Muslim positions during the “long 1948”. Making use of largely unpublished archives in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, including the recently released Pius XII papers, Maria Chiara Rioli depicts a church engaged in multiple and sometimes contradictory pastoral initiatives amid battles, relief missions for Palestinian refugees, theological reflections on Jewish converts to Catholicism, political relations with the Israeli and Jordanian authorities and liturgical responses to this fluid and uncertain scenario.

Abstract

"The book discusses the history and the archaeology of Jerusalem in the Roman period (70-400 CE) following a chronological order from the establishment of the Tenth Roman Legion's camp on the ruins of Jerusalem at 70 CE through the foundation of Aelia Capitolina by Hadrian in around 130 CE and the Christianization of the population and the cityscape in the fourth century Cemeteries around the city the rural hinterland and the imperial roads that led to and from Aelia Capitolina are discussed as well Due to the paucity of historical sources the book is based on archaeological remains suggesting a reconstruction of the city's development and a discussion of the population's identity"
