Marc Ellis Lecture Tour
On the occasion of the publication of his book - Israel and Palestine - Out of the Ashes The Search for Jewish Identity in the Twenty-first Century Marc H. Ellis "…. a superb account of post-Holocaust understanding, with particular reference to the Palestinian people and the moral obligation of Israelis and diaspora Jews. He is a man to be listened to with respect and admiration." Edward Said "… a vital contribution to solving one of the few remaining intractable problems of our time." Archbishop Desmond Tutu "Marc Ellis has demonstrated great courage, integrity, and insight in the very important work he has been doing for years. It has been an inspiration for all of us." Noam Chomsky "A breath of fresh air, in a heavily polluted debate, by a self-respecting American-Jewish theologian". Afif Safieh, Palestinian General Delegate to the United Kingdom & The Holy See …stands in a deeply honoured and disturbing Jewish tradition of prophetic thought and action. The is a profoundly religious book and we ignore it at our peril." John Gladwin, Bishop of Guildford & Chair of Christian Aid. 'Marc Ellis has done a service to people of all faiths with this book. I hope it will be very widely read .' The Very Revd. Nicholas Frayling, Dean of Chichester "In the end after the theology and the maps, the accusations and the questions, I simply cannot bequeath this inheritance to my children: that at the heart of Jewish history is violence and atrocity; that the essence of the Jewish witness is carried by helicopter gunships."
