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 aspectsReconciliation.ReconciliationReligious aspects.203.4Redekop Vern Neufeld1949-1144113Ryba Thomas1602512MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820397103321René Girard and creative reconciliation3926510UNINA
