Thinking about Israel

I’ve been out of town this whole past week, immersed in the AAR Luce seminar on theologies of religious pluralism and comparative theologies. It was quite powerful to be in that discussion, while at the same time the world was thinking about the flotilla and Gaza. As I dig through my overloaded RSS feeds, here are two pieces I’ll return to:

• Israel need not be the third rail
• Chosen, but not special (by Michael Chabon)
