In 1985, the Kairos Document emerged out of the anti-apartheid struggle as a devastating critique of apartheid and a challenge to the church in that society. This book is a call to discern new moments of crisis, discernment and kairos, and respond with prophetic resistance to global injustice.

Allan Aubrey Boesak is Desmond Tutu Chair of Peace, Global Justice and Reconciliation Studies at Christian Theological Seminary, USA.
