We invite you to read a review, written by Genevieve Chornenki, of "Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and the Genocide in Gaza" by Munther Isaac. The book explores questions of faith, Scripture, suffering, and justice from a Palestinian Christian perspective in the context of the war in Gaza. The review can be found in the latest issue of our church newsletter, Spiritus (page 16).
