Summary of Reconciliation
Press Reviews
A thoroughly biblical guide to reconciliation – its passions and problems, its complexity and utter cruciality. Dr Swamy offers new angles on old stories, prophetic messages, and a gospel wisdom on becoming people of peace.
Swamy has valuable things to say... clear and meticulous... would reward those used to serious Bible reading.
Beautifully written... you will have difficulty finding a better book than this to deepen your loving knowledge of scripture, and its focus on the core topic of reconciliation. I cannot recommend it too highly.
We are offered key texts, key themes, substantial exposition of those texts and themes, solid biblical and theological reflection with living examples and then left with questions with which to challenge ourselves.
For those able to sustain a daily devotion through Lent, this is a rich resource. For weekly discussion groups who like to wrestle with big issues, there is more than enough here to see them through Lent, and some way beyond.

Global in scope, but homing in on the role ordinary people play in conflict and division, Reconciliation (The Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book 2019) enables Christians to engage confidently in a ministry bequeathed to us by Christ himself.
The book issues a vibrant call to the church to support and strengthen relationships amongst church members; to cross borders to build connections with different denominations, and to maintain open attitudes towards our neighbours from other religions and ideologies.
Forty biblically-based meditations introduce topics such as Impediments to reconciliation, risking the self, humility and self-criticism, radical openness to the other and peace with justice. Questions for reflection are included, making Reconciliation suitable for use at weekly gatherings or for everyday devotion during Lent.
