Do you want to understand how religious beliefs, especially certain interpretations of the Bible, have become powerful forces influencing global politics, public opinion, and the realities on the ground in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories? The Bible, Prophecy, and Gaza is a groundbreaking work by Dr. Mohammad Mahmoud Mandurah, a Muslim scholar whose expertise in comparative religion, history, and human rights allows him to offer a unique and compelling perspective. This book is not just a critique—it is an invitation to rethink the foundations of faith, justice, and peace in an era marked by division and suffering. What sets this book apart?

Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, he reveals how selective readings of biblical prophecy and covenant have been used to justify exclusion, violence, and dispossession, often at the expense of the most vulnerable.
