Emmanuel Katongole is associate professor of theology andpeace studies at the University of Notre Dame, with a jointappointment in the Theology Department and the KrocInstitute for International Peace Studies. A Catholic priest ofthe Kampala Archdiocese in Uganda, he formerly taught atDuke Divinity School, where he was also foundingcodirector of the Duke Center for Reconciliation. His otherbooks include Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faithafter Genocide in Rwanda and Reconciling AllThings: A Christian Vision for Justice, Peace, andHealing.
Emmauel Katongole is a Catholic priest from Uganda, born in 1960, who lived through the reign of Idi Amin and has seen the postcolonial struggles of his home country and its sub-Saharan neighbors -- Rwanda, the Congo, Zimbabwe, Liberia, and others -- up close and personal.Looking at this region, ravaged by war, corruption, terror, genocide, and disease, Katongole wonders at length what difference Christianity makes -- or could make -- in numerous African nation-states. The Sacrifice of Africa argues that in the face of Africa's social, political, and economic turmoil, a new future truly is possible, and displays how such a new future, inspired by Christian faith, looks.
