Looking from the Precipice
Reflections from Nazareth of a Palestinian Christian Evangelical
About this book
"Botrus Mansour reflects as an Arab-Palestinian Christian Israeli citizen living in Nazareth ... encouraging not only individual reflection but motivating meaningful dialogue." —
Dr. Nina Balmaceda, Associate Teaching Professor of the Practice of Reconciliation, Duke Divinity School
Â
A view from Nazareth for the future of Christianity
Â
Botrus Mansour, a Palestinian, a Christian, an Evangelical, a lawyer, and a teacher of the faith, understands that we live in deeply troubled times. This book is written "from the Precipice"—the local name for the mountain that Nazareth is built upon—the city where Jesus Christ grew up. Mansour begs his readers to turn their hearts toward God and each other.
Â
"Mansour writes for Christians who want to be global citizens."
— Rev. Dr. Jack Sara , President, Bethlehem Bible College
Â
"Mansour's legal mind is brought to bear on the challenges with which both the church and the community have struggled. He raises your sight and energizes you to think afresh."
— Godfrey Yogarajah , Deputy Secretary-General, World Evangelical Alliance
Â
"Very few people have such an amazing 'front-row seat' of one of the most complex cultures on the planet." — Dr. Danny Sinquefield , past President of the Tennessee Baptist Convention
Â
Botrus Mansour is a lawyer, General Director of Nazareth Baptist School, Baptist Church Elder, and Chairman of the Convention of Evangelical Churches in Israel, and writes on matters of faith and life in the Middle East, and has been published in Christianity Today and Haaretz.
