Abstract "Biblical scholars, theologians, and religious historians have largely ignored the issue of reparations. The time is now to engage with and make the case. Written for students, scholars, and pastors, the essays in Reparations and the Theological Disciplines emphatically advocate for a reparational ethic of remembrance, reckoning, and repair"-- Provided by publisher.
