Rev. Yohanna Katanacho joins us to discuss his book,"Reading the Gospel of John through Palestinian Eyes". He unpacks the new world order that Jesus establishes in the Gospel of John and the relationship of these teachings to 1st century Judaism. They discuss the exclusivity of Christian Zionism and what reading John’s gospel through Palestinian eyes must teach us about an inclusive kingdom that replaces hate with love and justice.

This is a timely episode that explores one of the most powerful Christian Zionist organizations and points us toward an inclusive view of biblical justice.
