In this ground-breaking volume, the authors analyze the role of
religion in conflict and conflict resolution. They do so from the
perspectives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, while bringing
different disciplines into play, including peace and conflict
studies, religious studies, theology, and ethics. With much of
current academic, political, and public attention focusing on the
conflictive dimensions of religion, this book also explores the
constructive resources of religion for conflict resolution and
reconciliation. Analyzing the specific contributions of religious
actors in this field, their potentials and possible problems
connected with them, this book sheds light on the concrete contours
of the oftentimes vague "religious factor" in processes of social
change. Case studies in current and former settings of violent
conflict such as Israel, post-genocide Rwanda, and Pakistan provide
"real-life" contexts for discussion. Combining cutting-edge
research with case studies and concrete implications for academics,
policy makers, and practitioners, this concise and easily
accessible volume helps to build bridges between these oftentimes
separated spheres of engagement. The Open Access version of this
book, available at: http://doi.org/10.4324/9781003002888, has been

Borrowing is a problem that Dietrich Bonhoeffer struggled with
throughout his life and especially in active resistance to the
Hitler dictatorship. We only "passively" share in the guilt of
others (for example, in intercession), or we have to Become
"actively" guilty (eg in resistance)? How is taking responsibility
linked to responsible action? These and other questions are
critically examined in relation to Bonhoeffer's entire works,
especially his ethics.
This edited volume brings together alternative and innovative
approaches in conflict resolution. With traditional military
intervention repeatedly leading to the transformation of entire
regions into zones of instability and violence (Afghanistan, Iraq,
Libya, Syria), the study of alternative and less violent approaches
to conflict resolution has become imperative. Four approaches are
presented here: negotiation, religion and gender, reconciliation
and forgiveness, and the arts. This volume contains the insights
and experiences of fourteen internationally renowned scholars and
practitioners from different contexts. Can forgiveness help heal
relationships in post-apartheid South Africa? How can art assist
dealing with 'unrememberable' events such as the genocide in
Rwanda? What transformational resources do women offer in contexts
of massive human rights violations? The aim here is twofold: to
provide and encourage critical reflection of the approaches
presented here and to explore concrete improvements in conflict
resolution strategies. In its interdisciplinary and international
outlook, this work combines the tried-and-tested approaches from
conflict resolution experts in academia, NGOs and civil society,
making it an invaluable tool for academics and practitioners alike.

"Everyone who acts responsibly becomes guilty" was a basic
premise that Dietrich Bonhoeffer expressed in various ways in his
theology and ethics. Even Bonhoeffer's own actions--in praying for
the defeat of his country in World War II and in participating in a
plot to assassinate Hitler--demonstrate the tension between the
reality of guilt and Bonhoeffer's ethical decisions.
In this study, Christine Schliesser examines the problem of
guilt in Bonhoeffer's writings, arguing that the concept of
accepting guilt emerges from Bonhoeffer's understanding of
Christology. Since Jesus Christ has accepted the guilt of
humankind, so the disciple must also be willing to accept guilt for
the sake of the other. In addition, Schliesser reveals the
unresolved tensions that emerge in the concept of accepting guilt
and discusses the extent to which Bonhoeffer's concept is still
relevant to Christian ethics today.
