Christian Zionism, Spiritual Warfare, and Conflicting Identities
Christian Zionism is often associated with US evangelicalism—as seen in John Hagee’s politically influential Christian United for Israel—but it is in fact a global phenomenon, including within Pentecostal-charismatic circles. This article examines how Arabic-speaking evangelicals in Israel engage with this debate. They are confronted with Christian Zionism primarily through their encounter with Messianic Judaism, mainly in two different networks:…
Palestinian Liberation Theology, Christian Zionism, and the Agency of Arabic-Speaking Evangelicals in Israel
This paper explores how Arabic- speaking Evangelicals in Israel navigate between two competing theological discourses that claim to speak for them: Palestinian Liberation Theology and Christian Zionism. Palestinian Liberation Theology, advocating justice and self- determination, dominates public perceptions of all Christians in Israel- Palestine, performing and demanding a unified Palestinian identity. Yet Arabic- speaking Evangelicals face a two…
Choosing Faith, Inheriting Religion
This article examines the complex negotiation of religious identity among Arabic-speaking Evangelicals in Israel, focusing on their struggle for official recognition as a religious community. In Israel, religious communities are responsible for personal status law, making affiliation with a recognized religious community essential. Civil marriage is unavailable. While Evangelicals theologically reject the notion of being Christian by birth rather…
Beyond the Pentecostal Gender Paradox
In this introduction to the special issue on Pentecostalism and Gender, the editors present new scholarly inquiries in the field, emerging from the 14th GloPent conference in Heidelberg (February 2024). Drawing on the keynote presentations by Keri Day, Brendan Thornton, and Naomi Richman, along with responses by Eva Spies, Claudia Jahnel, and Giovanni Maltese, the authors identify three key areas for advancing beyond Bernice Martin’s influential …
Geschlecht, Religion und Nation in globalen Verflechtungen
Ansätze einer globalen Religionsgeschichte haben entscheidend zum Verständnis von Allgemeinbegriffen wie Religion als historisch gewachsen und veränderlich beigetragen. Ebenso haben sie aufgezeigt, dass das Verständnis von Religion in Wechselwirkung mit anderen Allgemeinbegriffen wie Nation geprägt ist. Geschlecht findet in diesen Untersuchungen bislang kaum Berücksichtigung. Dabei bestehen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Geschlecht, Nation und Religio…
Spürender Leib und objektivierter Körper in geschlechtlichen Identifizierungen bei zugerichteten inter* Personen
Die Fremd-Identifizierung einer Person als inter* im Zuge einer klinischen Diagnostik ist (u.a.) als Ermöglichung von medizinischen Zurichtungshandlungen zu verstehen. Der Versuch in diesen Zurichtungen die inter* Körper zu binärgeschlechtlichen zu machen, scheitert jedoch nicht nur an sichtbaren, körperlichen Spuren der Versehrung (Narben), vielmehr besitzt das Gewebe einen nicht zurichtenbaren Eigen_Sinn, sodass sich auch nach der Zurichtung ni…
Doing GenderBody and Gendered Probation. A Case (Re)Constructive Analysis of Gendered Probation
With the present article an extension of the doing gender concept by another important dimension, the body, is proposed. Butler showed that sex results from the materialization and we argue that not only gender emerges from interactive doing, but also does sex. This process is called Doing GenderBody and interestingly we showed that it is not done by doing the gender. After the inactive production of a gender/sex, it follows an evaluation process…
Arabischsprachig und evangelikal in Israel
Arabic-speaking evangelicals in Israel are caught in the midst of a complex identity conflict: unlike the understanding of religion dominant in Israel with its legal and political impact, their emphasis on faith leads to disputes about religious identity, while their evangelical Christian Zionism intensifies disputes relating to national identity between Arabic, Palestinian, and Israeli
Evaluation of Screening Tests in Bavarian Healthcare Facilities during the Second Wave of the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Due to the lack of data on asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2-positive persons in healthcare institutions, they represent an inestimable risk. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the first 1,000,000 reported screening tests of asymptomatic staff, patients, residents, and visitors in hospitals and long-term care (LTC) facilities in the State of Bavaria over a period of seven months. Data were used from the online database BayCoRei (Bavari…

Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal in Israel
Among Arab Christians in Israel there is an intense dispute about identity, which is tangible in the use of names such as "Evangelical", "Charismatic" and "Pentecostal". By understanding these names as local political considerations, this paper shows how and why these names are used or rejected. In 2005, the Association of Baptist Churches, Church of the Nazarene, Assemblies of God and Open Brethren, as well as several para-church institutions, u…
