The
theological grounds for advocating forgiveness and reconciliation
in the sociopolitical realm
Alan Torrance
The escalating
threat of terrorism and the tragic events of recent
history, in Asia and the Middle East and also much nearer
home, illustrate the profoundly divisive and destructive
character of religion. Those same histories suggest
that the pursuit of ‘justice’ all too often
simply compounds terror by generating a downward spiral
of violence in the name of ‘retribution’.
This booklet
asks whether Christianity, with its tarnished history,
is simply further illustration of the polarising tendency
of religion. Or has the Gospel something more radical
and significant to offer on how we confront evil and
alienation in a divided and war-torn world?
