- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

SUMMARY
The unique motivation of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission to "turn its back on revenge" and to create a space where the deeper process "of forgiveness, confession, repentance, reparation, and reconciliation can take place" has, at its heart, the sentiment of certain faith communities within the nation. In this most candid of studies, we have the historical notes that formed that difficult process, which was and continues to be a struggle of theological and philosophical import within the faith communities. The writers gathered here look at this complex matter from many perspectives but all seek to reinvigorate the religious discourses about truth and reconciliation, suggesting new ways of understanding, and new configurations. The book includes extracts of verbatim testimonies of faith communities to the TRC.Cochrane, James is the author of 'Facing the Truth South African Faith Communities and the Truth & Reconciliation Commission' with ISBN 9780821413074 and ISBN 0821413074.
