Acknowledging that religion can motivate both violence and
compassion, this book looks at how a variety of world religions can
and do build peace. In the wake of September 11, 2001 religion is
often seen as the motivating force behind terrorism and other acts
of violence. Religion and Peacebuilding looks beyond headlines
concerning violence perpetrated in the name of religion to examine
how world religions have also inspired social welfare and
peacemaking activism. Leading scholars from the Aboriginal, Hindu,
Buddhist, Confucian, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions
provide detailed analyses of the spiritual resources for fostering
peace within their respective religions. The contributors discuss
the formidable obstacles to nonviolent conflict transformation
found within sacred texts and living traditions. Case studies of
Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Cambodia, and South Africa are also
examined as practical applications of spiritual resources for
peace.
