About this title

Synopsis

Religious Peace, Then and Now presents a radically new perspective on one of the critical challenges of our time: making religious peace in a world afflicted by religious conflict, violence, and war. In a text that is passionate and accessible, Wayne Te Brake demonstrates how concerned citizens and political and religious leaders, who have learned to recognize religious peace when they see religious diversity, can envision and promote a more peaceful world through constructive engagement and nonviolent activism. Religious Peace builds on the author's personal experience as well as his academic research on religious war and religious peace during Europe's Age of Religious Wars and applies what we can learn from that history to our understanding of the prevalence and prospect of religious peace today.
