Reconciliation, Nations and Churches in Latin America

Herausgeber: MacLean, Iain S

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the recent phenomenon in Latin America of national Truth and Reconciliation commissions. Few studies have examined the role of Churches or religion in political processes that proclaim valued theological terms as their agenda: truth, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The contributors here question the role of religion, specifically of established Churches. The impact of such reconciliation commissions on Indigenous Native Americans is also examined, as is the role of women and how both commissions and Churches or religions were challenged by their experiences.
