“JESUS SAID, I HAVE THE OTHER SHEEP”: The Palestinian (Arab) Christians in Occupied Palestine (original) (raw)

2017, Christianity in the Middle East Journal

One of the forgotten minority groups in the Middle East are Palestinian/Arab Christians, particularly in Occupied Palestine (East Jerusalem and West Bank). Sadly, Christian churches around the world are not aware (and misinformed) that strong Christian minority exists in the region. When such misinformation persists, Palestinian people will continue to suffer such injustices. Scholars, however, argue that such misinformation is rooted in dispensationalism and Zionist ideology. Dispensationalism believes that the coming of Israel to the land has stared the countdown that will end history (Burge, 2017). This article is presented in three parts. The first part discusses the unholy alliance between the Conservative Evangelicals and the Zionist movements. Second part presents Palestinian/Arab Christians as forgotten faithful in occupied Palestine. In the last part, the author gives a short conclusion. Keywords: Conservative Evangelicalism, Christian Zionism, Dispensationalism, Misrepresentation, Palestinian/Arab Christians.
