How can one believe in a God of love amid all the evil and
suffering found in the world? How does one do theology 'after
Auschwitz', while vast numbers of people still have to endure
violent oppression every day? This book seeks to address such
questions from a standpoint informed by life in Africa, which in
the face of extraordinary difficulties bears witness to Gospel hope
by demonstrating forgiveness in action and promoting
reconciliation. The work unfolds in two parts. In the first part, a
description of the misery that characterises much of life in Africa
in the recent past opens up to a theological consideration of the
underlying causes and of God's response to them. In the second
part, the joy which is so characteristic of life in Africa even in
places of immense suffering sets the scene for detailed reflections
on liturgy, memory, forgiveness and hope.
