The twenty-first century began with the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. Much has been written and debated on the
relationship between faith and violence, with acts of terror at the
forefront. However, the twentieth century also gave rise to many
successful nonviolent protest movements. Nonviolence in the World's
Religions introduces the reader to the complex relationship between
religion and nonviolence. Each of the essays delves into the
contemporary and historical expressions of the world's major
religious traditions in relation to nonviolence. Contributors
explore the literary and theological foundations of a tradition's
justification of nonviolence; the ways that nonviolence has come to
expression in its beliefs, symbols, rituals, and other practices;
and the evidence of nonviolence in its historic and present
responses to conflict and warfare. The meanings of both religion
and nonviolence are explored through engagement with nonviolence in
Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese, Sikh, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Jain,
and Pacific Island religious traditions. This is the ideal
introduction to the relationship between religion and violence for
undergraduate students, as well as for those in related fields,
such as religious studies, peace and conflict studies, area
studies, sociology, political science, and history.
