In a world of conflict in which religious differences play a
significant role, reconciliation grows increasingly important. The
Ministry of Reconciliation shows how with a spirituality of
reconciliation we can create the spaces in which reconciliation can
happen, and with human strategies, how the process of
reconciliation can move forward.
From wide-ranging travels Schreiter has gained a profound wisdom
and hope as well as the questions and struggles to be faced. In
Part One, "Reconciliation as Spirituality, " Schreiter poses this
key question: "If God did indeed raise Jesus up to a new life that
breaks the grip of violence and sin on the world, what should be
the concrete object of our hope?" Each of the next six chapters
then meditates on post-Easter appearances as recorded in Scripture.
Schreiter's explorations of such events as "the breakfast at the
seashore" (John 21:1-17) and "what the women saw" (Mark 16:1-8;
John 20:1-18) reveal a direct pastoral style reminiscent of Rahner
and Barth at their best.
From this profound and hope-filled beginning Schreiter goes on
to emphasize how a spirituality of reconciliation without sound
social and theological reflection on its implementation will fail.
Part Two, "Elements of a Strategy for Reconciliation, " tackles
such vexing questions as individual and social responsibility;
truth and justice; amnesty and pardon; and how the church can aid
in reconciliation. Schreiter explores questions as: How can
forgiveness happen? What is justice, and how should it be sought
and administered? How can a society be rebuilt that includes the
perpetrators of evil?
An international team of scholars address the theology and practice
of peacebuilding.
"Peacebuilding" refers to a range of topics, ranging from
conflict prevention to post-conflict reconciliation. In this volume
a strong cast of Catholic theologians, ethicists, and
scholar-practitioners join to examine the challenge of
peacebuilding in theory and practice. While many of the essays deal
with general themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, interreligious
dialogue, and human rights, there are also case studies of
peacebuilding in such diverse contexts as Colombia, the
Philippines, the Great Lakes region of Africa, Indonesia, and South
Africa. This volume will be of interest to all scholars engaged in
developing a theology and ethic of just peace, as well as students
seeking to understand the interaction between theology, ethics, and
lived Christianity.
Contributors include: John Paul Lederach; Maryann Cusimano
Love; Daniel Philpott; William Headley and Reina Neufeldt; Todd
Whitmore; Peter-John Pearson; Thomas Michel; Kenneth Himes; Lisa
Sowle Cahill; Peter Phan; and David O'Brien.
Robert J. Schreiter brings together acute analyses of the Christian
world mission agenda by astute observers of both church and world.
In six chapters -- including Schreiter's own essay on a new
ecumenical catholicity and a seventh by him on the status of the
global Christian mission agenda, focusing especially on the
Catholic role in mission -- the reader is taken on a trip that
reveals how globalization entails both local and international
responses.
The book is an exploration of the creative crossings between the
liberative stream of the eschatology of Edward Schillebeeckx and
the stylistic strategies of 'Third Cinema', political cinema
dedicated to the representation of Third World liberation.

Encompassing recent developments in anthropology, sociology,
philosophy, and communication theory The New Catholicity explores
the many aspects of globalization that challenge Christianity as it
enters into its third millennium. In Schreiter's view, a deep
irony, perhaps even a paradox, is concealed within the riddle of
globalization. Such forces as feminist, liberation, ecological, and
global theological movements find their counterparts in
antiglobalism, ethnification, and primitivism. Liberation thought
in a post-Soviet world seeks to be more realistic about economics
but finds "reformist gradualism" a bitter pill to swallow.
Intercultural theologies find analogous difficulties when they
attend to "integrated" as opposed to "globalized" concepts of
culture. The seeming polar opposition of [bad] "syncretism" and
[good] "synthesis" in the context of changing religious identities
end up much less amenable to simple value judgments than they once
appeared to be.
