商品簡介
"Amid the many recent books on religions and peacemaking, this one clearly stands out. Not only do we hear the peace-message of each religion; we also are invited into an interreligious dialogue about those messages. For college courses as well as for parish study groups, this book is a valuable, and an enjoyable, resource."
Paul F. Knitter, Union Theological Seminary
Peacemaking and the Challenge of Violence in World Religions is a comprehensive exploration of the history, beliefs and practices around peace and violence in seven of the world's major religions. Written by expert practitioner-scholars, this textbook provides clear and systematic coverage of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Native American religions.
Each chapter introduces a different religion and its sacred texts; discusses ideas of peace, war, nonviolence, and permissible violence; recounts historical responses to violence; and highlights individuals working within the tradition toward peace and justice. At the end of each chapter there are critiques by practitioners of two other religions that create a rich dialogue between traditions. Other student-friendly pedagogical features include definitions of key terms, discussion questions, further reading sections, and a list of additional resources. This textbook is uniquely committed to discussing issues of peace and violence within their religious context in order to give readers a better understanding of the values, motivations, and ethics involved in these complex components of religion around the world
