Stress Test: The Israel-Hamas War and Christian-Jewish Relations

Community Impact to Inspire Social Change:  Stress Test helps communities have the hard conversations. In the middle of the Israel-Hamas war and the growing crisis in Gaza, people are overwhelmed, angry, grieving, and confused. This book creates space for honest, compassionate dialogue between Christians and Jews, helping readers think more clearly and speak more respectfully in divided times. It’s used in classrooms, faith groups, and book clubs to unpack inherited biases and ask better questions about justice, empathy, and peace. By encouraging critical thinking and genuine connection, Stress Test supports the community-building that nonprofits like ours are here to do. Edited and Introduced by Carol Rittner and John K.
