Three Religions, Two Peoples, One Land

Conference with
Rev. Dr. David Mark Neuhaus SJ

28.06.2023

Jew, Christian, Muslim; Israeli, Palestinian; Hebrew, Arab; religious, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and national identities are locked in a seemingly interminable conflict that reverberates far beyond the boundaries of the land that is at the heart of the conflict. Bible, theology, history, and myth blend into opposing ideologies that promote visions of conquest, victory, and domination. All mouth the dream of peace but few are willing to promote a justice that is peace’s fundamental condition. Is carving up the land and allotting portions to each warring tribe a solution? Or can a language be spoken that uses this vocabulary differently and allows for a new vision to emerge?

David Mark Neuhaus SJ is a member of the Jesuit community in the Holy Land. He has taught Scripture in various institutions in Israel and Palestine. He completed a BA, MA, and PhD (Political Science) at Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He then completed pontifical degrees in theology and Scripture in Paris (Centre Sèvres) and Rome (Pontifical Biblical Institute). He is emeritus Latin Patriarchal Vicar for Hebrew Speaking Catholics and Coordinator of the Pastoral among Migrants and Asylum Seekers in Israel. At present, he resides and works in the Jesuit Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa.
