The Political Dimension of Reconciliation

When a nation is working thorugh its past, the call for reconciliation is often expressed, as was the case in South Africa after the end of apartheid and in Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Informed by Ralf Wustenberg's long residence in South Africa and his own native Germany, this book investigates the conditions and dynamics associated with political reconciliation.

Ralf K. Wustenberg is Director of the Institute for Protestant Theology and Visiting Professor for Systematic Theology/Christian Ethics at Freie Universitat Berlin.
