| Summary: | One of the most shocking and puzzling aspects of the 1994 Rwanda genocide was how such an unchristian act could have been planned and executed in a country where close to 90 percent of the population is Christian. Digging deeper into this problem, a number of researchers started examining the role Christianity and Christian churches played before, during, and after this genocide. Until now, however, no serious research had managed to conclude that Christian churches as institutions played a profound and direct role in Rwandan genocide as boldly and directly as has Timothy Longman in his book. This conclusion makes this book interesting and challenging in many respects. |
