St. Paul called on followers of Christ to be "ambassadors of reconciliation" in a world of violence and oppression. In reflections on this and other New Testaments texts, Ched Myers and Elaine Enns offer a lens for re-reading the entire biblical tradition as a resource for the cause of "restorative justice" and peacemaking. The term "restorative justice" refers to a social movement that seeks to repair interpersonal, communal, and social injuries without recourse to violence or retribution. From its origins in the criminal justice arena restorative justice has been applied in schools, homes, as well as workplaces. But examples such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa also show its application on a national level. In Ambassadors of Reconciliation I Ched Myers and Elaine Enns offer solid biblical and theological resources for this vital and growing movement. Their complementary volume, Ambassadors of Reconciliation II focusses on stories of the principles of restorative justice in action around the world.
