In this episode, we speak with Munther Isaac about the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, and what led to the current crisis in Gaza. Munther, a Palestinian pastor and theologian, reflects on the intersection of theology and politics, and what faith, hope and love might mean in the face of such terrible suffering.

Following the interview Nomad hosts Joy Brooks and Tim Nash reflect on the emotional response they’ve felt in the face of this crisis, the role Christian Zionism played in the faith they inherited and whether the bible could still have a place in their evolving spirituality when it’s been so horribly misused.

Interview starts at 17m 50s
