What makes real reconciliation possible? How is it that some people are able to forgive the most horrendous of evils? And what role does God play in these stories? Does reconciliation make any sense apart from the biblical story of redemption?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In \u003ci\u003eReconciling All Things\u003c\/i\u003e Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, codirectors of the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups and societies. They recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis powerful, concise book lays the philosophical foundations for reconciliation and explores what it means to pursue hope in areas of brokenness in theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmmanuel Katongole\u003c\/b\u003e (Ph.D., Catholic University of Louvain) is associate research professor of theology and world Christianity at Duke Divinity School.
