God of Dialogue and Reconciliation

Abstract

In this article I want to suggest some lessons that we can draw from the Old Testament in our quest for dialogue and reconciliation in Zimbabwe. The crisis in Zimbabwe is deeply rooted in a long history of conflicts and violence. In the Old Covenant, Scripture portrays the divine economy as dialogue between the Creator and humanity that culminates in reconciliation through Christ. The plan of God revealed in the Old Covenant is salvific obtained through dialogue.
