Chapter in a book tentatively titled Liberating Education: Commitments, Retrievals, Subversions & Solidarities? edited by Carmen Landsdowne and Stephen de Beer.

My work focuses on Palestinian theological construction through dialogue with Indigenous land-based theologies, developing new insights about incarnation, land, and divine presence that emerge when Palestinian experiences inform biblical interpretation. Rather than simply critiquing dominant theological frameworks, I engage in constructive theological work that articulates Palestinian Christian contributions to broader conversations about justice, resistance, and faithful presence in contexts of ongoing settler colonization. Through methodologies like contrapuntal reading, I explore how Palestinian and Indigenous traditions can inform each other while maintaining their distinctiveness, creating space for theological voices that have been marginalized by Western academic approaches.

God’s Heart for Children and Creation Care, Langham Publishing, editors María Alejandra, Andrade Vinueza and Athena Peralta

This chapter explores how Palestinian children's experiences in basateen (home gardens) offer rich theological insights about cohabitation with creation, revealing reciprocal relationships where creation actively cares for them through the gifts of food, medicine, and seasonal rhythms. Through ethnographic observation of seed-saving practices, olive harvest traditions, and children's intimate knowledge of growing things, the work demonstrates how these relationships embody sacred responsibility within co-creation. Written amid ongoing genocide in Gaza, this exploration celebrates Palestinian children's profound wisdom about living in partnership with the more-than-human world as a vital contribution to global conversations about human relationships with creation.

Contributing chapter in Through Her Lens: Evangelical Women Reflecting on Theological Education in the Middle East, edited by Grace Al-Zoughbi Arteen.

My chapter reimagines theological education through the lens of the Samaritan Woman at the Well narrative, demonstrating how ancient biblical texts can inform contemporary peacemaking initiatives in diverse, often divided contexts. Drawing from a Palestinian Christian perspective, the study challenges traditional Western interpretations while proposing innovative approaches like "Virtual Wells" that amplify marginalized voices and bridge spiritual insights with practical conflict resolution. The work offers theological institutions a transformative framework for preparing students to become effective peacemakers who can navigate complex intersections of faith, culture, and geopolitical realities in the modern world.

The book is in Arabic, this volume examines theological education across the Middle East through the perspectives of evangelical women scholars and practitioners, contributing to Arabic-language theological discourse.
