"Living Stones". The situation of the Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem under occupation.

[Dieses Postsecular Lab-Podcastgespräch wurde auf Englisch geführt]We are bringing the third season of the Postsecular Lab podcast on the topic “Israel and Palestine from a Postsecular Perspective” to a close with a special episode. In this episode, Professor Nijmi Edres, Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Bern, and Professor Luca Di Blasi, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Bern, speak with Father Issa Thaljieh, a Greek Orthodox parish priest at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem (Palestine / Occupied Territories). He provides a firsthand account of the situation, the challenges, and the resistance of his Palestinian congregation and discusses with the two hosts faith in the context of life under occupation, the role of religions, and the post-secular in Palestine.This conversation was held and recorded on-site as part of the Postsecular Lab course on November 3, 2025.https://interrelblog.unibe.ch/?p=1919
