In the race to discover real solutions for the conflicts that
plague contemporary society, it is essential that we look to
precedent. Many of today's conflicts involve ethno-religious
tensions that modern wisdom alone is ill-equipped to resolve. In
Third-Party Peacemakers in Judaism, Rabbi Dr. Daniel Roth asks us
to consider ancient religious and traditional cultural solutions to
such present-day issues. Roth presents thirty-six case studies
featuring third-party peacemakers drawn from Jewish classical,
medieval, and early-modern rabbinic literature. Each case is
explored through three layers of analysis - text, theory, and
practice. The first layer offers historical and literary analysis
of textual case studies, many of which are critically analyzed here
for the first time. The second layer examines the theoretical model
of third-party peacemaking imbedded within the selected cases and
comparing them to other cultural and religious models of
third-party peacemaking and conflict resolution. The final layer of
analysis, based upon the author's personal experience of religious
conflict resolution and peacemaking, looks at the practical
implications of these case studies as models for modern
peacemaking. Third-Party Peacemakers in Judaism serves as an
inspiration for fostering indigenous practices of third-party
peacemaking and mediation in the modern era.
