Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda
The first comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church’s role in the genocide against the Tutsi and its attempts at reconciliation From April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Tutsi men, women, and children were slaughtered by Hutu extremists in churches and school buildings, and their lifeless bodies were left rotting in these sacred places under the deep silence of church authorities. Pope Francis’s apology more than twenty years later presents the opportunity to reimagine the essence of the Church, the missionary enterprise, theology in its multiple dimensions, the purification of memory, and the place of human di...

African Conceptions of Human Dignity
Contributors join together in this tenth ACLARS volume to propose a framing of human rights in terms of African conceptions of human dignity. Following on the signing of the Punta del Este and Botswana Declarations of Human Dignity for Everyone Everywhere in 2018 and 2023, contributors discuss human dignity as an African and indigenous concept grounded in relationship, community, and an overarching ethic of Ubuntu. Chapters further explore human dignity’s many meanings and relation to other rights in the African context, as well as human dignity’s connection to basic human needs, state obligations, religion and theology, gender and age, and the environment.
Human Rights in a Divided World
"This book would assemble a number of essays from the past several years that address the question of whether human rights remain valid as universal standards for action in a multicultural, religiously pluralistic and economically unequal world. It draws on the Roman Catholic tradition to help answer this question in a positive way, and also suggests ways that today's global realities call for important developments in the Catholic tradition. It applies the proposed understanding of human rights to several issues that are much debated today, including religious freedom, the rights of refugees and other forced migrants, economic rights in the face of significant inequality, and the rights of women. It will be of use to those in the Catholic community who are working to advance human rights, to those interested in why the Catholic church is engaged in human rights issues, and to all who seek to advance human dignity on humanistic grounds. It addresses both those considering human rights in academic settings and practitioners working to advance human rights in the field"--
LE SECOND SIGNE DE CANA - ETUDE EXEGETIQUE ET THEOLOGIQUE DE JN 4,46-54
Comment les disciples ont-ils commencé à croire ? L’évangile de Jean est le seul à révéler le second miracle de Cana : la guérison à distance du fils d’un officier, dont une simple parole, « Ton fils vit », témoigne de son rétablissement miraculeux. Pourquoi Jean est-il le seul à raconter cet épisode ? En quoi apporte-t-il quelque chose de différent aux autres récits de guérisons ? La vie publique du Christ commence à Cana lorsque Jésus change l’eau en vin et que ses disciples reconnaissent en lui le messie. Ici, il se révèle à eux comme porteur et incarnation de la parole de Dieu, parole de vie pour son peuple. En exégète, Michel Segatagara Kamanzi nous entraîne dans l’étude passionnante des débuts de la vie publique de Jésus, et des réactions de ses disciples. Jésuite, licencié en sciences bibliques et docteur en théologie de l’université de Fribourg (Suisse), Michel Segatagara Kamanzi enseigne l’exégèse du Nouveau Testament à l’Institut biblique pontifical de Rome.
Aids in Africa
The Catholic Church, from the beginning of AIDS in Africa, has been active in alleviation and treatment, in prevention, consolation and spreading hope. Now "to interpret the present time" is to consider this complex issue seriously in the light of our scriptures, faith, tradition and practice. That is what the essays in this volume strive to do.
