Christian Palestine.. A book refuting the Zionist narrative

In an important history that is the first of its kind, the book " Christian Palestine ... From the First Century A.D. Until the Beginning of the Ottoman Rule" reveals an important historical period in the history of Palestine that has not been adequately covered or highlighted. It is an important book in refuting the Zionist narrative about Palestine. About claiming that Judaism was dominant.


The book, which was recently prepared by Hussam Abu Al-Nasr and Joseph Hazboun, included words and research papers that were presented at the “Christian Palestine” conference organized by the Papal Mission in Jerusalem, in Ramallah last year, in cooperation with the “Al-Sabil Center”, and its publishing rights belong to the Jerusalem House for Palestinian Studies and Research. And the Papal Mission, which is available in Palestinian libraries in the West Bank, and its authors and publishers hope that it will be spread globally.


The writer, historian, and head of the "Christian Palestine" conference, Prof. Hossam Abu Al-Nasr, told Al-Quds.com: "The book Christian Palestine is a historical book that deals with the Christian era in Palestine from the first century AD until the fall of Constantinople and the beginning of the Ottoman Empire in 1453 AD."


According to Abu al-Nasr, many references did not address an important period of the emergence of Christianity in Palestine and Islamic-Christian relations, where the religion was widespread, and not as it is rumored that the Jewish religion is widespread, so the book came to respond to the allegations of the occupation and the Zionist movement that the Jewish religion was widespread.


Abu Al-Nasr pointed out that the Christian religion originated from Palestine and spread in it and then to the world, and refutes the incorrect claims that the religion spread in Palestine is Judaism, as the widespread antiquities, churches and monasteries in which many Palestinian villages and towns were associated with the "word monastery", which is what It proves the spread of Christianity, not Judaism.


Abu Al-Nasr noted that this period is important in the history of Palestine, and it was evaded and skipped by a number of historians, either inadvertently or deliberately, which deals especially with the first three centuries, which constituted a lack of historical references, so the book came to be important as well in the context of the necessity of a critical reading. The book presents the subject from a historical rather than a religious point of view, and as a continuation of the subject of "Canaanite Palestine" and then "Christian Palestine".


Abu Al-Nasr explains that the book included research papers by fifteen researchers that were presented last year, at the "Christian Palestine" conference, and dealt with that historical period. Those papers were transcribed, prepared and edited in a book that included 250 pages.


The book falls into three main chapters: "The first: talks about the roots of Christianity in Palestine, the second: Christianity and the emergence of Islam, and the third: Christian history and the dialogue of sects."
