Invention of History

Contains the proceedings of the August 2009 "The Invention of History" conference organized by Diyar in Bethlehem, Palestine. The conference brought together 50 professors, theologians, and researchers from over 10 countries. The book analyzes major theological trends and shifts of the twentieth century in several contexts. It also focuses on the interplay between theology and politics regarding Israel and Palestine. The hope is that such an analysis might help in identifying a new theological trend that is responsible to its original source and relevant to the context.
