Summary

Occupied with Nonviolence brings home the pain and central convictions that animate Christian Palestine--Jews and Muslims and Christians, Israelis and Palestinians, women and men. Yet even as Zaru eloquently names the common misunderstandings of the history, present situation, and current policies of the parties there, she vividly articulates an alternative; a religiously motivated nonviolent path to peace and justice in the world's most troubled region.
