Towards a Palestinian Christian Feminist Hermeneutic Public
AlRaheb, Tala (Spring 2018)
Abstract
Palestinian Christian women residing in the West Bank experience misogyny on
a daily basis. Their unique identity as Palestinians, Christians, and women entails
a triple subjugation by the various factors that influence the particular aspects of
their identities. The factors influencing Palestinian Christian women’s
experiences are comprised of several laws and cultural norms. These laws
include: State laws, Religious court laws, and Customary laws. These three
systems, furthermore, allow for the intersection of religion, culture, and law that
affects gender dynamics in Palestine. The intersection of religion, culture, and
law, additionally, reinforces the cycle of violence against women and inflicts a
hierarchical system in which women are not guaranteed equality. In order to
address the implication of the oppressive systems upon Palestinian Christian
women, we need to create a new hermeneutic. A Palestinian Christian feminist
hermeneutic utilizes an interdisciplinary approach in order to examine the
intersection between religion, culture, and law. Furthermore, this hermeneutic
develops a mixed-method approach, which includes a historical examination of
the legal system in Palestine, cultural hermeneutics, Christian and Muslim
religious analysis, and ethnography in order to adequately address the
experiences of Palestinian Christian women. Towards a Palestinian Christian
Feminist Hermeneutic does not attempt to address nor answer the concerns of
Palestinian Christian women. It merely sets the building blocks necessary for the
creation of a liberative feminist hermeneutic within the Palestinian context.
