Overview

This publication seeks to challenge established thinking about the causes of violence in Northern Nigeria. It explores immediate and long-term effects of that violence through reflection, study, and survey of previous research. The fundamental argument within is that ethnic, political, and religious violence has affected Christian perspective and core values and thus has hampered efforts towards just peacemaking.
