Presented by David Bisno
With the Middle East in utter turmoil, during four intensive weeks we’re going to ask important questions here in S.B. We won’t settle the problems, but we’ll better understand the competing claims, appreciate the region’s history, and realize why a solution is so difficult. We’ll ask, What does the Bible have to do with it, anyway? Whose land has it been, anyway? Why can’t these people just get along, anyway? Can an “apartheid” government be democratic? Presentations will be accompanied by colorful historical slides. You will be given an outline for each class to allow easy following. Each afternoon, following lunch, we will view a riveting movie— the subject matter and narrative balanced between Palestinian and Jewish points of view. For one of the sessions, it is hoped that we will be joined by a highly educated Palestinian guest speaker. Take a deep breath. We’re all going to learn a lot. Discussion is expected to be relevant and lively.
