In particular, it explores ways in which Christians can begin acknowledging and addressing the entanglements of Christianity with settler colonialism and its violence. The first section briefly outlines the project of settler colonialism, drawing on key insights from settler colonial studies. The second section examines ways in which Christian theology has actively contributed to this project. The third section indicates some typical strategies that Christians employ to avoid acknowledging this situation. Finally, the article suggests how practices of repentance can assist with the work of repair.Items in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
