A guide to the practice of mediation as a means of resolving
conflict, this short how-to manual includes all the resources
needed to teach and train mediators in the skills of conflict
resolution. It explains the conceptual framework of conflict and
peacemaking, the stages and steps of the mediation process, and the
resources necessary to conduct mediation sessions, including
practice through role-playing. The book is divided into three
parts: Theory, Process, and Practice. Part I provides a conceptual
framework for understanding conflict and mediation. It discusses
the sources of conflict, the dynamics of power imbalances, how
mediation counteracts them, and familiar styles for managing
conflicts. Part II describes the stages of the mediation process.
It begins with orientation and preparation for the mediation
session before outlining each of the five stages of the mediation
process along with a range of communication skills crucial to the
success of each stage. Part III focuses on several familiar areas
of human experience in which the practice of mediation is common,
such as family and domestic mediation, business and organizational
mediation, international mediation, and education. These chapters
include customary forms and techniques used in resolving conflicts.
The final chapter includes materials to manage and conduct
mediation role-playing exercises.

This book assumes that the most profound moral conflict today is
between two virtues-justice and mercy. I argue that the two are
organically linked through the common experience of compassion. In
an unjust world, justice cannot establish itself, but requires, in
public as well as private life, projects of merciful benevolence;
for two reasons: because mercy alone has the power to subvert
patterns of injustice, and because mercy and projects of
benevolence are tailored to establish and sustain patterns of
justice, especially fair economic outcomes. To show this, against
Rawl's Difference Principle, I argue for a Distribution Principle,
which states that social and economic inequalities should be
addressed by policies that directly and primarily benefit the least
advantaged members of society, while at the same time minimizing
burdens and/or maximizing benefits for the most advantaged.Along
the way I show how in the United States benevolence as a public
virtue was disestablished along with religion; how it might and
should be re-established without re-establishing religion; and how
the Christian tradition provides resources for evolving morally
from a liberal, procedural practice of justice to one that embraces
egalitarian, economic justice as well. Gandhi and King are prime
historical examples who practiced merciful benevolence and
something like a Distribution Principle. Finally, I show how in the
global community today, Christianity and other traditions can and
should make benevolent community a reality.
What is the relationship between faith and reason? How should faith
and reason situate themselves in relation to each other? These are
the chief questions that James Gilman seeks to address in Faith,
Reason, and Compassion: A Philosophy of the Christian Faith. An
innovative new book in philosophy of religion, it treats the
problems typical of the discipline in an untypical way, with a
methodology that presupposes a particular religious tradition, in
this case Christianity, and that reenfranchises emotions (e.g.,
compassion) as crucial to shaping solutions to philosophical
problems. Developing a methodology on the basis of three
principles: the principle of symmetry, asymmetry, and
supersymmetry, Gilman confiscates these three terms from physics
and deploys them collectively as a metaphor in service to a method
whereby the problems belonging to philosophy of religion can be
critically and constructively treated. While ideal for courses in
philosophy of religion, this book stretches across disciplines and
is also ideal for use in Christian ethics and theology courses.

What does it take to follow and not merely admire Jesus? How do religious affections reshape the practice of Christian values like love, peace, justice, and compassion? How can they possess both universal truth and local meaning? What role can they play in public life? In Fidelity of Heart Gilman answers these questions, while showing, in an innovative and provocative approach, how Christians can practice these values in ways continuous with the life of Jesus.
