This book investigates the response of the Catholic Church in
Northern Ireland to the conflict in the region during the late
Twentieth Century. It does so through the prism of the writings of
Cardinal Cahal Daly (1917-2009), the only member of the hierarchy
to serve as a bishop throughout the entire conflict. This book uses
the prolific writings of Cardinal Daly to create a vision of the
'Peaceable Kingdom' and demonstrate how Catholic social teaching
has been used to promote peace, justice and nonviolence. It also
explores the public role of the Catholic Church in situations of
violence and conflict, as well as the importance for national
churches in developing a voice in the public square.Finally, the
book offers a reflection on the role of Catholic social teaching in
contemporary society and the ways in which the lessons of Northern
Ireland can be utilised in a world where structural violence, as
evidenced by austerity, and reactions to Brexit in the United
Kingdom, is now the norm. This work challenges and changes the
nature of the debate surrounding the role of the Catholic Church in
the conflict in Northern Ireland. It will, therefore, be a key
resource for scholars of Religious Studies, Catholic Theology,
Religion and Violence, Peace Studies, and Twentieth Century
History.

Since the onset of the troubles in the late 1960s, people in
Northern Ireland have been working together to bring about a
peaceful, non-violent end to the conflict. In doing so, they have
used their efforts as a means to support the transition to a
post-conflict society in the wake of the ceasefires and the Good
Friday Agreement. This collection is the first to examine the
different forms of peace and reconciliation work that have taken
place. It brings together an international group of scholars to
examine initiatives such as integrated education, faith-based peace
building, cross-border co-operation and women's activism as well as
the impact that government policy and European funding have had
upon the development of peace and reconciliation organisations.
This unique collection of essays demonstrates the contribution that
such schemes have made to the peace process and the part that they
can play in Northern Ireland's future. Contributors include: Kevin
Bean (Liverpool), Katy Hayward (Queens), Peter Shirlow(Queens), and
Kieron McEvoy (Queens).
This volume brings together 11 experts from a range of religious
backgrounds, to consider how each tradition has interpreted matters
of violence and peace in relation to its sacred text. The
traditions covered are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity,
Islam and Sikhism. The role of religion in conflict, war, and the
creation of peaceful settlements has attracted much academic
attention, including considerations of the interpretation of
violence in sacred texts. This collection breaks new ground by
bringing multiple faiths into conversation with one another with
specific regard to the handling of violence and peace in sacred
texts. This combination of close attention to text and expansive
scope of religious inclusion is the first of its kind.
