Description for Liberation Through Reconciliation
Hardback. This book argues that Jon Sobrino's Christology offers the basis for a Christian spirituality of reconciliation that effectively overcomes conflict by attending to the demands of truth, justice, and forgiveness. It envisions a Christian discipleship and a theology of reconciliation inspired by Jesus' praxis and the values of God's Kingdom. Num Pages: 304 pages. BIC Classification: HRCM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 231 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 544.
In the past one hundred years alone, more than 200 million people have been killed as a consequence of systematic repression, political revolutions, or ethnic or religious war. The legacy of such violence lingers long after the immediate conflict. Drawing on the author’s experiences of his native El Salvador, Liberation through Reconciliation builds on Jon Sobrino’s thought to construct a Christian spirituality and theology of reconciliation that overcomes conflict by attending to the demands of truth, justice, and forgiveness.

Reviews for Liberation Through Reconciliation
"In this excellent book, I appreciate especially the architecture of the theological reflection. Valiente departs from a painful historical event-a civil war, which is the worst of all wars because of the many sequelae it leaves-to put forward an interpretation of reconciliation that responds to the festering wounds that take so long to heal.
