The word "reconciliation" is not used in the Hebrew scriptures, and appears only thirteen times in the Pauline and Deuteropauline writings. Yet, in popular Christian imagination it has become a key concept for what the church should be doing during - and after - violent and disruptive social change. Schreiter explores the paradoxes in social and religious reflection that reveal the violence inherent in the vocation of peacemaking and meditates masterfully on the contradictions that define our age, bringing to the fore the uniqueness of the challenge bequeathed to the followers of Christ...

Heartfelt, incisive, and timeless, The Confessions of Saint Augustine has captivated readers for more than fifteen hundred years. Retelling the story of his long struggle with faith and ultimate conversion -- the first such spiritual memoir ever recorded -- Saint Augustine traces a story of sin, regret, and redemption that is both deeply personal and, at the same time, universal. Starting with his early life, education, and youthful indiscretions, and following his ascent to influence as a teacher of rhetoric in Hippo, Rome, and Milan, Augustine is brutally honest about his proud and amibitious youth. In time, his early loves grow cold and the luster of wordly success fades, leaving him filled with a sense of inner absence, until a movement toward Christian faith takes hold, eventually leading to conversion and the flourishing of a new life. Philosophically and theologically brilliant, sincere in its feeling, and both grounded in history and strikingly contemporary in its resonance, Th..
