Description
The chapter concentrates on the Catholic dimension in the processes of reconfiguration of the Israeli-Palestinian political and religious landscapes in the 1970s and the 1980s by reconsidering some statements and letters from the Peace and Justice Commission, complementing this analysis with a brief focus on the theological reflection of Michel Sabbah.
