“When Christians remember well, we are able to explore the story of God’s involvement with the world and to draw on that entire story to locate and understand what is going on at any particular time within it. That is what makes Scripture indispensable to the Christian journey of reconciliation. Scripture both forms Christian memory and shapes concrete possibilities for life in the world. The more Christians are able to ground reconciliation as a journey with God from old toward new, the more we are able to recover the indispensable gifts that sustain that journey and make it possible.”

-Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, Reconciling All Things
