Volume I and II of Ambassadors of Reconciliation for a special price including shipping in the USA.

St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be “ambassadors of reconciliation” in a world of violence and oppression. In reflections on this and other New Testaments texts, Ched Myers and Elaine Enns offer a lens for re-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of “restorative justice” and peacemaking.

Restorative justice refers to a social movement that seeks to repair interpersonal, communal, and social injustices without recourse to violence or retribution. This is the second of two volumes exploring a theology and practice of faith-rooted restorative justice and peacemaking.

In alternating chapters Myers examines the biblical dimensions of hospitality, sanctuary, the crossing of borders, and God’s predilection for those on the margins, while Colwell relates the stories of immigrants and immigrant rights activists—their hopes, dreams, and sufferings. these are men and women who, by acting upon their common humanity with the “other,” have learned to cross a different kind of boundary.
