Just a quick look at the news headlines on any given day is a
powerful reminder that devastating armed conflicts worldwide are
destroying lives and whole communities ? often in the name of
religion. Hidden in the news, if reported on at all, are the brave
religious leaders in these zones of violence, working to bring
peace and reconciliation to their people. These inspiring men and
women offer critical insights and skills for addressing today's
most urgent conflicts. But their stories are rarely told.
Peacemakers in Action: Profiles of Religion in Conflict Resolution
shares the experiences of 16 such remarkable religious peacemakers
who have put their lives on the line in conflicts around the world
? from Israel-Palestine to Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Sudan,
South Africa, El Salvador, Indonesia ? and beyond. For each of
them, religious texts and traditions have served both as a source
of inspiration and as a practical resource in resolv ing conflict.
These grassroots peacemakers are powerful ? but underutilized ?
actors for resolving some of the world's most horrifying conflicts.
As such, this book contains timely information for diplomats,
government officials, and resolution practitioners, as well as
today's students of religion and international affairs ? our future
peacemakers. And in a world where religion-based conflict affects
us all, this book provides critical lessons and much-needed hope
for each of us.
