Palestine's Christians and the Nationalist Cause: The Late Ottoman and Mandatory Periods (Routledge, 2024) provides an historical overview of Palestine's Christian communities and their role in the Palestinian nationalist movement during the late Ottoman and British mandatory periods. More than being a history of Palestine's Christian Arabs, the book focuses on Palestine's Christians during the formative period of Palestinian Arab national identity, attentive to the broader topic of the relationship between nationalism and religion--in this case, between Arab identity and Islam. Whereas until recently historians have tended to assume that national and religious identities are distinct and mostly mutually exclusive things, more recent scholarship has addressed the fact that often there exists considerable overlap between the two, though it should be noted, often in ways that are not by any means inherently exclusive of those not belonging to the majority faith, as is the case here. The relationship is also an ever-changing one, hence the final chapter of the book, which functions as something of an epilogue regarding the current status of Palestine's Christians vis-à-vis their place in the nationalist cause and relationship with the broader Muslim population. The book will be of interest to historians and scholars focused on the modern Middle East, Palestinian history, Muslim-Christian inter-communal relations, and the relationship between nationalism and religion.

Jay Smith, a missionary with extensive experience ministering to Muslims, sits down with Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to talk about how Christians can more effectively witness to Muslim people. Jay was born in India and initially had no interest in witnessing to Islam people.He learned that so few missionaries were reaching out to one of the largest religions in the world, and this spurred him to begin evangelizing to Muslim people. One issue he addresses is the Muslim claim that the Bible is corrupted. Jay counters by asking Muslims to provide evidence of Bible corruption and points out that the Quran itself speaks positively of the Bible. Mark asks how Muslims view grace and how Christians can discuss it with them. Jay explains that Islam, like most man-made religions, emphasizes works-based salvation. He describes how Islamic teachings about salvation are influenced by Zoroastrian beliefs. Christianity, by contrast, offers grace through Jesus' sacrifice, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy. Oscar shares his experience of the resistance Muslims show when hearing about God's love. Jay suggests that pointing out how earthly father figures reflect the god they serve can be a way to bridge the gap. He highlights that the God of the Bible, unlike the Islamic concept of God, interacts personally with His people and provides a path to salvation through Jesus.A recurring topic in Muslim-Christian debates is the doctrine of the Trinity, which Muslims often reject as a man-made concept. Jay notes that while the term itself was coined later, it reflects a concept that is clearly in scripture, much like certain Islamic doctrines that were formalized after the Quran was written. The guys, along with Jay, emphasize the importance of always steering debates toward the gospel, even when addressing objections about the Bible or the Quran. While Jay engages in historical critiques of the Quran he believes that presenting the gospel is ultimately more powerful. There is a curious phenomenon where many secular people defend Islam while viewing Christianity as dangerous. Jay attributes this to ignorance and a lack of Christian presence in public discourse. He touches on the conflict between Israel and Palestine, noting the complexities of Hamas's role and the broader Middle Eastern perspective.Ultimately, Jay's approach to evangelism centers on presenting the gospel while being prepared to break down intellectual and spiritual barriers. Despite opposition, he remains focused on his mission, trusting in God's protection and guidance, much like the early disciples.Send us a text Thanks for listening!

Send us a textThe conversation explores the rise of Christian nationalism and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) in American politics. The guest, Matthew Taylor, discusses the theological and social shifts within the religious right, the influence of charismatic Christianity, and the role of violence in their beliefs. The conversation also delves into the four quadrant model of American Christianity and the impact of charismatic leaders like Paula White. The chapter titles could include 'The Rise of Christian Nationalism', 'Understanding the New Apostolic Reformation', 'The Theology of Violence', and 'The Paradox of Empowering Women'. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, led by figures like C. Peter Wagner, has had a significant impact on American Christianity and politics. The NAR combines charismatic worship music with political activism, using worship as a way to insert religion into public debates. This worship music industrial complex has enculturated the far right of America to see themselves as the true worshipers of God, standing against the idolatry and demonic realm that surrounds them. The NAR movement is on the upswing, with its ideas becoming more mainstream among American evangelicals. It has also infiltrated the militia movement and white nationalist scripts.Buy the book: https://a.co/d/5yUwxSeGuest Bio:Matthew D.

The language around the attempted assassination of Donald Trump as divine intervention or miraculous and the consequence naming of him in Republican circles as 'God's anointed one' has brought into focus the key role of religion in US politics.

Sam talks with scholar Matthew D. Taylor about House Speaker Mike Johnson and the significance and danger exemplified in Johnson's ascent to power. Taylor documents Johnson's links to leading voices in the Christian Charismatic movement (which were early adopters of the Trump cult, and unlike mainstream Evangelical leaders, have never split in their support for Trump). This movement also played a key role in mobilizing for the Jan 6 coup and continue to support Trump's quest for power in 2024. We explore what this tells us about the role and influence of Christian Nationalism, the New Apostolic Reformation movement, and the threat of theocracy in the United States.  Dr. Matthew D. Taylor is a Senior Scholar and the Protestant Scholar at the Institute for Islamic. Christian, Jewish Studies  where he specializes in Muslim-Christian dialogue, Evangelical and Pentecostal movements, religious politics in the U.S., and American Islam.

Kevin McCarthy continues his quest to become Speaker of the House for a third day. After losing six votes over two days, and making yet more concessions to extremists in his party last night, he told reporters this morning he is, quote, “making progress.” The House is reconvening at this hour. Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of the attack on the US Capitol. January 6th, like September 11th or December 7th, is a date that's emblazoned in the American psyche as a pivotal moment in our nation's history. The attack on the Capitol — part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election — shook the foundations of American democracy. A bipartisan House Select Committee that spent 18 months investigating the attack has published an extensive and damning report that lays the blame for the insurrection squarely at the feet of former US president Donald Trump. If Republicans work out their internecine fighting over the Speakership, they have promised investigations in the new Congress that will target Joe Biden and his administration. Scholars, historians and journalists, as well as federal prosecutors, are still sorting out the actors and their motivations behind the violence on January 6th, 2021. Today on Midday, a conversation with two scholars who study the influence of Christian nationalists on the events of that day, and how they fit into the panoply of groups that organized and executed the attack. Dr. Matthew Taylor is the Protestant Scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies in Baltimore. He focuses on Muslim-Christian dialogue, evangelical and pentecostal movements, religious politics, and American Islam.Matthew Taylor joins Tom in Studio A. Dr. Bradley Onishi is a religion scholar on the faculty of the University of San Francisco, and the host of a podcast called Straight White American Jesus.  His new book is called Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism–And What Comes Next.  He'll discuss the book tomorrow (Friday, January 6) at noon in an online forum hosted by Matthew Taylor and sponsored by the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies. Drs. Onishi and Taylor are also the co-hosts of an audio documentary series that examines the role of Christian Nationalists in the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capital. It's called Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic Reformation. You can find it on the Straight White American Jesus podcast.

I am joined by Dr. Usamma Makdisi to discuss his most recent book "The Age of Coexistence". In this book Dr. Usamma Makdisi explores the politics of pluralism during the Ottoman Empire and in the post-Ottoman Arab world. Rather than judging the Arab world as a place of age-old sectarian animosities, "Age of Coexistence" describes the forging of a complex system of coexistence, what Makdisi calls the “ecumenical frame.” He argues that new forms of antisectarian politics, and some of the most important examples of Muslim-Christian political collaboration, crystallized to make and define the modern Arab world.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preoccupation-a-not-so-brief-history-of-palestine/donations

Many similarities and common threads can be found between Christian and Muslim faith traditions. Both Christianity and Islam are monotheistic. Both believe in an afterlife. And while Christianity and Islam have different sacred texts, the Bible and the Quran, some central figures—including Abraham, Moses, Mary, and Jesus—appear in both. The Quran depicts Jesus as a teacher, healer, and even a miracle worker. But Muslims do not believe that Jesus is also God, the second person of the Trinity, since belief in the Trinity is a uniquely Christian tradition.  So what does Islam actually teach about who Jesus is? What role does Jesus play in Muslim theology? And can a better understanding of Muslim views on Jesus aid Christians in interfaith dialogue?  Today's guest on the podcast, Jordan Denari Duffner, talks about Muslim teachings and beliefs about Jesus, as well as how these beliefs connect with other tenets of the Muslim faith.
