Reconcile by John Paul Lederach

Reconcile by John Paul Lederach

And what if Christians, who have been missing the mark for millennia, are waking up to the reconciling mission of God? Reconcile: Conflict Transformation for Ordinary Christians, by international mediator John Paul Lederach and with a foreword by Bill and Lynne Hybels, serves as a guidebook for Christians seeking a scriptural view of reconciliation and practical steps for transforming conflict. Originally published as The Journey Toward Reconciliation and based on Lederach's work in war zones on five continents, this revised and updated book tells dramatic stories of what works-and what doesn't-in entrenched conflicts between individuals and groups. Lederach leads readers through stories of conflict and reconciliation in Scripture, using these stories as anchors for peacemaking strategies that Christians can put into practice in families and churches.192 Pages

Professor Woodhouse has worked in the Department of Peace Studies since 1974, when he was appointed as Research Assistant to Professor Adam Curle. He developed the first conflict resolution teaching and research activities in the department during the mid 1980s, and in 1990 he initiated the Centre for Conflict Resolution, serving as the founding director of the Centre between 1990 and 2000. In March 1999 he was appointed to a personal chair and took the title of Professor of Conflict Resolution (Adam Curle Chair). Recent publications include Contemporary Conflict Resolution, Polity Press, (with Oliver Ramsbotham and Hugh Miall). Much of his research is concerned with an examination of the relationship between peacekeeping and conflict resolution. With Oliver Ramsbotham he published the Encyclopedia of International Peacekeeping Operations, ABC/CLIO, Denver/Oxford, 1999, and Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution, published by Frank Cass in 2001
