Abstract

The article focuses on Palestinian theologian Mitri Raheb, who draws wisdom from biblical sources while serving a community in Bethlehem that seeks peace and freedom. Raheb, who earned his doctorate in theology in Germany, returned to Bethlehem in 1987 as a youth pastor during the First Intifada, where he faced profound existential questions from young people affected by the conflict. He has authored over 50 books, including "Bethlehem Besieged" and "Decolonizing Palestine," and emphasizes the importance of contextual theology and art in addressing life under occupation. Raheb also founded Dar al-Kalima University and has been actively involved in community initiatives, reflecting his commitment to social entrepreneurship and scholarship.
