Reconciliation and Justice in Africa
Exploring New Opportunities for Local Contexts
About this book
The world is groaning beneath a seemingly endless cycle of oppression and injustice. This is particularly evident in Africa, where colonization, racism, and violent conflicts have left deep scars on both nations and peoples.
In this collection of essays, theologians from across Africa draw from their nations' painful histories to grapple with the complex questions of reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing. Using examples of religious, ethnic, and tribal conflicts across the continent, these essays explore reconciliation and justice in the context of liberation theology, biblical studies, ecclesiology, and pastoral care. An excellent resource for peacemakers and academics alike, this book offers a powerful and contextualized vision of the gospel's power to restore justice and offer true hope to a wounded world.
