Salvation as doctrine of Reconciliation: a theology of Reconciliation in the Context of Conflict between Myanmar ethnic Groups

Abstract

This research will present „Salvation‟ as reconciliation and explore the lack of the Myanmar Churches‟ missional work. It will also propose the need to engage more in a reconciliation ministry as a part of fulfilling the Christ-given „mandate. In doing so, this research will attempt to shed soteriological light upon the current situation of the conflict and fight between ethnic people groups in Myanmar. In addition, this research will examine the significance of a Trinitarian theological aspect of reconciliation for mutual forgiveness and love between ethnic people groups in Myanmar. This proposed study will use a literature survey to determine the meaning of reconciliation from the various perspectives in Myanmar, and it will also use an exegetical study to define the meaning of salvation as reconciliation from the biblical perspectives is. This research will use also a literature study on historical facts of political leaders, religious leaders and individuals to determine what the hindrances of the reconciliation process in Myanmar are. It will use literature analysis and exegetical study on salvation as reconciliation from the biblical perspectives to apply in the context of conflict among Myanmar ethnic groups
