Global Decolonization and Reparation Debates

What does justice look like when the church itself is part of the story? African theologians, bishops and legal scholars from different African countries examine colonialism, mission history and the global reparations debate with unusual candour.
This first volume of the African Theological Impulses Series, edited by the All Africa Conference of Churches, traces how Christian mission served empire ? and how Africans turned the Gospel into a language of liberation. It widens reparations beyond money to looted artefacts, sovereign debt, climate justice and the uncomfortable question of internal responsibility, including land held by African churches today. Rigorous, prophetic and self-critical, it maps a path toward epistemic sovereignty and genuine reconciliation.For theologians, clergy, students of World Christianity and everyone engaged in ecumenical and justice work.
