Communication is vital to the prosperity and survival of the
community, with the quality of communication amongst its members
directly improving or worsening the value of the community.
However, with the increase in immigration and relocation of
refugees, the need to accommodate diverse cultural groups becomes
imperative for the viability and survivability of a community while
posing challenges to communication. Intercultural and interfaith
dialogue can be used constructively to cultivate, manage, and
sustain diversity and wellbeing in particularly deeply divided
communities. Intercultural and Interfaith Dialogues for Global
Peacebuilding and Stability is a critical research publication that
explores the importance of conflict resolution strategies among
populations that include a varied amalgamation of cultural and
religious backgrounds. With the increasing emphasis on
intercultural understanding promoted by governments, civil
societies, and international mediators, this book offers relevant
remedies for major afflictions in the world today, such as
exclusion, marginalization, xenophobia, and racism. It is ideal for
government officials, policymakers, activists, diplomats, lawyers,
international trade and commerce agencies, religious institutions,
academicians, researchers, and students working in a variety of
disciplines including political science, international relations,
law, communication, sociology, and cultural studies.
This important and timely study is rooted in the belief that the
relationship between Judaism and Christianity is a gift of God to
the church to be received with gratitude, respect and care, so that
we may learn more fully about God's purposes for the world. It
offers a theological exploration of that relationship that is
mindful of the prejudice and persecution experienced by the Jewish
community throughout history, not least from the Christian church,
and is intended as antidote to antisemitism. Part One explores the
distinctive relationship between Judaism and Christianity and
traces its troubled history. Part Two considers critical
contemporary issues and reflects on how the Church should conduct
itself appropriately in its mission and evangelism, teaching and
preaching, ethical practices and attitudes towards Israel and
Palestine.
