RESANE, Kelebogile T. Theology of dialogue in peace negotiations and settlement: A South African case. STJ [online]. 2019, vol.5, n.1, pp.299-316. ISSN 2413-9467. http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2019.v5n1.a14.
The early nineties ushered in the dawn of democracy; and attempts towards negotiations and settlement for peaceful elections were due to theological dialogues that seem to have been obscured later. This article explores the meaning, method, and implementation of theology of dialogue in peace negotiations and settlements. The role of five dialogues is explored as cases for South Africa during that time. Reference is made to the impact dialogical theology made upon the socio-political landscape during the negotiations that led to some peaceful elections that opened the door for the new democracy in South Africa. Theology of dialogue is proposed as a powerful approach to peace making and settlement in any socio-religious or socio-political tensions and impasses.
