The first comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church’s role
in the genocide against the Tutsi and its attempts at
reconciliation From 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.

The Paulist Biblical Commentary (PBC) is a one-volume commentary on
the books of the Bible designed for a wide variety of Bible
readers, especially those engaged in pastoral ministry. The volume
consists of a commentary on each of the seventy-three books of the
Catholic canon of the Bible along with twelve general articles.
While based on classical approaches to Scripture, the commentaries
and articles are not limited to historical-literary issues, but
draw upon relevant theological and pastoral ideas found in the
text. The Paulist Biblical Commentary presents: * Solid exegesis of
the biblical text. * A useful tool for preaching and spiritual
nourishment. * An essential aid to deepen the understanding of
Scripture. * Current biblical research that is relevant to pastoral
or spiritual ministry. The Commentary brings together the
collaboration of more than seventy international biblical scholars,
each with expertise in their area of study drawn from their
experience and interest in pastoral or spiritual ministry.
