REL 240 - Reconciliation in a World of Conflict
The twentieth century has been labeled as the most violent century ever: more than 200 million killed as a consequence of systematic repression, political upheaval, ethnic or religious war. Enlisting a theological lens, this course examines the Christian resources and contribution to the problem of reconciliation. This course first explores the ambivalent role of religion in history as a source of conflict as well as peace. After examining some of the most important secular approaches to the problem of personal and social conflict, the focus will be on the main Christian theologies of reconciliation. Theologies will be examined through individual case studies, with particular attention given to the conflicts in the Balkan region, South Africa, and El Salvador.
