This book addresses the question of what it means to occupy the land of Palestine and Israel justly. It also focuses on how Christians should understand the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The intertwined histories of Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism are examined first, followed by a review of Palestinian Christian theologies of land and liberation. Then the book describes the beliefs of Christian Zionism and follows with a final chapter describing a vision for a shared Palestinian-Israeli future, living together and sharing the land in peace.

The book places Palestinian Christian theologies within broader Christian conversations about election, God's enduring covenant with the Jewish people, and Zionism. In the face of a politics of separation and dispossession, Epp Weaver contends that Palestinian Christian theologies testify to the possibility of a shared polity and geography for Palestinians and Israeli Jews. This future would not be defined by walls, militarized fences, checkpoints, and roadblocks, but rather by mutuality and reconciliation.
