Israel-Palestine and theology of land

Theology of Land is one of the crucial issues in how the churches respond to the current situation in Israel-Palestine. In 2017, CTBI, in partnership with Christian Aid, hosted a consultation on the subject of theological language and Israel-Palestine. Some of the papers that were given can be downloaded:
