Reviews"This book stands out as the only volume that articulates the Rwandan genocide as an opportunity to 'reinvent theology' while daring to turn the tides of hatred and division into peaceful coexistence. Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda provides a wide readership with new insights into understanding many other conflicts in the world."?Elias O. Opongo, SJ, senior lecturer and researcher of peace studies and international relations, Hekima University College,

SynopsisFrom April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Tutsi men, women, and children were slaughtered by Hutu extremists in churches and school buildings, and their lifeless bodies were left rotting in these sacred places under the deep silence of church authorities. Pope Francis's apology more than twenty years later presents the opportunity to reimagine the essence of the Church, the missionary enterprise, theology in its multiple dimensions, the purification of memory, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda critically examines the Church's responsibility in Rwanda's tragic history and opens the dialogue to construct a new theology. Contributors to this volume offer moving personal testimonies of their journeys to reconciling the evil that has marred the Church's image: bystanders' indifference to the suffering, despite their claim as members of the Church. The first volume of its kind, Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda is a necessary step toward the Rwandan Catholic Church and humanity's restoration of fundamental peace and lasting reconciliation. Catholic clergy, lay people, and human rights advocates will benefit from this examination of ecclesial moral failure and subsequent reconciliatory efforts., From April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
