Dr. Daniel Bannoura, a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem, shares the story of his upbringing, his advocacy against harmful theology that has cost his people dearly, and his journey as a scholar studying Islam in order to better love his Muslim neighbors.
Daniel is a recent graduate of University of Notre Dame in Islamic studies. His thesis was, “The Composition of the Qur’an: Towards a Historical-Critical Theory of Its Redaction,” & he studied under Dr. Gabriel Reynolds.
Daniel is also on staff with the Bethlehem Institute for Peace & Justice, & he is one of the main coordinators for Church at the Crossroads, a conference for Palestinian Christians & Global Christians to seek peace together in the Holy Land. Church at the Crossroads meets from Atlanta, GA in Nov. 5-7.
