The end of the 20th century and the start of the 21st have brought about too many questions concerning religion and violence in a new and urgent way. What are the relationships between religion and violence, peace and community? Is violence at the heart of religion?
How are truth, justice, mercy, atonement and reconciliation to be sought? How do we care for the most vulnerable, the victims? How can we work towards a global ethic of peace? What is the role of religion in a secular state? This volume confronts these complex issues in the foundations of religions and their sacred texts, in their traditions and in their practices in the world today. With deep compassion and insight the writers—from Europe, Asia and the Pacific—seek to face religion’s paradoxical legacies and on-going sites of struggle.
