Dr. Christian E. Hauer, Jr., a noted Protestant theologian and educator deeply familiar with the culture and politics of the region, surveys the Arab-Israeli conflict to provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing the area following the 1967 war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eDr. Hauer probes deeply into the core problems of the era—including the refugee crisis, the administration of Jerusalem and its holy sites, the burgeoning guerrilla movements, and the arduous paths toward reconciliation. Rather than simply describing the apparent impasse, he identifies key factors that must be overcome before real improvement can occur. His proposals include establishing impartial agencies to manage compensation for lost property and creating dedicated funds to aid in the resettlement of displaced individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eUnderlying this critical investigation is the profound realization that the Middle East is more than just a matter of practical geopolitics; it represents a profound crisis and burden to the conscience of mankind. Acknowledging the threat of extinction faced by the Israeli state and the inhuman deprivation suffered by refugees, Dr. Hauer writes as one earnestly searching for a humane solution that promises a viable, peaceful future for Jews and Arabs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristian E.
