Using a Girardian hermeneutic as a starting point, a new conceptual Gestalt emerges in these essays, one not fully integrated in a formal way but showing a clear understanding of some of the challenges and possibilities for dealing with the deep divisions, enmity, hatred, and other effects of violence.ReconciliationReconciliationReligious aspectsElectronic books.Reconciliation.ReconciliationReligious aspects.203.4Redekop Vern Neufeld1949-926363Ryba Thomas926364MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453558403321René Girard and creative reconciliation2443396UNINA
