The post-synodal exhortation Africae Munus of Benedict XVI gives the way forward, namely, that Africa must be committed to the search of peace in the continent. . . . Catholic universities should be involved in Education for Peace through having visions that are informative, formative and transformative and which ensures sustainable peace and reconciliation. This requires that peace studies be mainstreamed in university curricula. The book, A Vision of Justice, comes very handy at this time when there is need to learn how others have addressed challenges facing them. The book will be an addition to the scarce resources needed in matters of justice and peace." <br>Fr. Peter I. Gichure, Catholic University of Eastern Africa <br>From the foreword of the African edition of A Vision of Justice<br><br>"[A] collection of intellectually stimulating, historically rooted, and empirically grounded essays. . . . [They] address the challenge we all face: to make CST no longer the 'best-kept secret.'"Kathleen Maas Weigert, PhD; Carolyn Farrell, BVM Professor of Women and Leadership; Assistant to the Provost for Social Justice Initiatives; Loyola University Chicago<br><br>
