- "The colossal tragedy of Rwanda and then the raging violence in Bosnia formed the shocking background out of which this book was conceived. These are just two of the most dramatic instances of the ethnic conflict that plagues our late-twentieth-century world as never before. As Christian theologians we felt constrained to reflect upon the responsibilities of Christian people and the resources of Christian faith for the great task of reconciliation." -- Preface, p. vii.
- Four of the authors are Canadian: Gregory Baum a Roman Catholic, Stan McKay, Janet Silman and Harold Wells, members of the United Church of Canada.
