Here’s a great video on reading and writing Arabic letters that I discovered. What I like about it is it identifies patterns of pronunciation based on marks that embellish a given letter. It also talks about typing and writing by hand (demonstrated by the “drawing” function in Microsoft Word. A student helps model the pronunciation exercises. According to some sources I have read it only takes 30 minutes to learn Arabic alphabet. However, the way the letters look changes based on context.

About Christian Minus Christianity

Christian Minus Christianity is a budding community created to challenge imperialism, nationalism, and racism in many forms of US-American Christianity. It is a work of contextual theology created from the perspective of a white Christian of conscience.

Palestinian theologian Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri, academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College, wrote about this project:

“I do think it’s important to dismantle imperial Christianity in a form, and for the reign of God to liberate the oppressed and God’s entire creation from systems of supremacy, exploitation, and destruction. I also believe that every theologian and Christian are doing theology from their own context, wherever they are. All theologies are contextual.”
