2. Christian Responses to the War on Gaza

Across the Divide Podcast · Nov 18, 2023 · 1h 1m

In this episode, co-hosts Daniel and Jen discuss some common Western Christian responses to the ongoing war on Gaza. They unpack the normalization of violence and dehumanization in American Christian rhetoric regarding this war, and Palestine-Israel at large. They also examine biblical, theological, and ethical frameworks that some Christians utilize to justify violence in Gaza, particularly Just War theory, and other ways the Bible is weaponized to support violence. At the end, they offer alternative ways to think of war and violence in light of the work of Christ.
