Reflections on Biblically Based Reconciliation after 2007/08 Post-Election Violence in Kenya

Category:

Description

The post election crisis of 2007/08 had complex ramifications which continue to affect the Kenyan nation in myriad ways. Of importance is the manner in which attempts have been made to address these issues including questions of peace, justice and reconciliation. This book is based on a study that sought information from respondents aided by a set of three research questions. The main questions the author seeks to answer in this book are: In what ways did the post-election violence of 2007-08 affect Christian adults with respect to their individual lives and wellbeing? To what extent did the post-election violence of 2007-08 affect Christian adults in areas of belief and attitude toward biblically-based forgiveness and reconciliation with their perpetrators? In what ways do Christian adults in Kenya see themselves capable of engaging one another towards biblically based forgiveness and reconciliation in times of conflict? This book provides a welcome opportunity to examine the possibilities engendered by the biblical approach to reconciliation.
