In my dissertation I shall track the changes in Western Christian Theology that occurred in the recent decades concerning the Promised Land, and the influence on these changes of Palestinian Christian theologians such as Michel Sabbach, Naim Ateek and Mitri Raheb and the Kairos Palestine Document on these changes. I shall analyze the theological discourse about the Promised Land in the Protestant world in North America and Europe, in the Catholic Church and in the World Council of Churches. Thus, I hope to gain a better understanding of the intricate interactions between Christian theologies and traditions and political activism in a global, pluralistic world – especially in contexts of political conflict.
