Emmanuel Katongole is Co-Director of the Center for Reconciliation and Associate Professor of Theology & World Christianity at the Duke Divinity School. Katongole holds a Ph.D. from Catholic University, Louvain, and both a B.Div. and B.Ph. from Pontifical University, Rome. His most recent publication is A Future for Africa: Critical Essays in Christian Social Imagination, (Scranton. University of Scranton Press, 2005). In his writings, Katongole emphasizes the resources of the church and the Christian social imagination for reconciliation and healing.

Miroslav Volf serves as Director of Yale Center for Faith & Culture and Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School. A native of Croatia, he has forged a theology of reconciliation in the face of the horrendous violence experienced in Croatia and Serbia in the 1990s. His award winning book Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness and Reconciliation engages the idea of embrace as a theological response to the problem of alienation of peoples. Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace is Volf's most recent book.
