This module explores the doctrine of reconciliation and its implications for human relationships from the perspective of analytic theology. It proceeds through an engagement with biblical exegesis and theological retrieval to analyse the essential features of the Christian doctrines of reconciliation and forgiveness. This it will carry out by considering the key elements in the biblical interpretation of God's relationship to humanity. Second, it will engage in critical analysis of influential expositions of the atonement and reconciliation in the history of theology. Third, it will assess the socio-political implications of the theology of reconciliation and forgiveness.
