THE-680 THEOLOGY & MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
The phenomena of increased violence in our world and the traumas suffered by great numbers of people has compelled theologians and ministers to call for a mission and ministry of reconciliation as a critical task for our contemporary church. The course will survey recent works addressing the questions of: healing of memories and forgiveness in situation of extreme violence, and a cross-cultural lens to understand the various experiences of suffering among diverse human groups. The course will present the dynamics of reconciliation from the foundational works of Robert Schreiter, John Lederach and John De Gruchy and others on reconciliation and justice.
