Naim Ateek's holey teaching

Naim Ateek's teaching about Jesus is not so much holy as holey. Misusing Jesus shines a light through this intellectual sieve. The article is from "The Christian Century" via Solomonia.

...Another problem arises when forms of Palestinian liberation theology appropriate Jesus for political ends. Any writing that separates Jesus and his first followers from Jewish identity, associates these proto-Christians with the Palestinian population and reserves the label Jew for those who crucified Jesus and persecuted the church is not only historically untenable but theologically abhorrent.

Also dishonest, and driven by the hatred of Jews more than the love of God - but read the whole article.
