Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faith after Genocide in Rwanda

In Mirror to the Church, theologian and Catholic priest Emmanuel Katongole, alongside author Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, delivers a profound theological reflection on the tragedy of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. As the son of a Hutu mother and Tutsi father, Katongole examines how Africa's most Christianized nation could become the site of catastrophic ethnic slaughter, holding Rwanda up as a sobering mirror reflecting the superficiality and cultural compromises of the Western church. Moving through poignant lament to resurrection hope, this prophetic book challenges believers to reject tribalism and embrace a radical, kingdom-centered Christian identity that bears true witness to Christ's reconciling love.
