Reparations is currently a ‘stubborn’ and ‘hot’ conversation point across various landscapes. In churches and mission bodies, intentional conversations mean that ecclesial communities are called upon to wrestle with past historical colonial complicities and their ongoing legacies. Handwringing and hand washing will no longer work. This volume attends to the specific matter of reparations and the theological underpinnings and implications of such a call. It addresses this by drawing on voices from across the globe, with contributors from Zimbabwe, Kenya, Malawi, Britain, Jamaica, Guyana, Brazil and the USA. These scholars and activists are experts in the area and related areas, bringing together multiple intersecting insights to what is an ongoing conversation. Bringing together in a focused volume multiple perspectives on reparatory theology towards just repair, the critical engagement in this book serves as a necessary and helpful theological resource for engaging ecumenically with reparatory justice and the implications for our common life together. Reparations and Reconciliation is an important attempt to help ecclesial communities to engage in more constructive conversations on reparations.
