It considers both the constructive and destructive sides of religious belief and particularly explores ways in which religion(s) may contribute to transforming conflict into peace. This volume analyses the role of religion in its current manifestations and provides alternative views of it. It is concerned with the role of religion as a source of conflict that often takes violent forms, thus contributing significantly to current problems. Attention also focuses on questions of peace from the perspective of the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A number of essays actualize a vision for peace based on religion and situate visions for peace in the wider context of human security. All chapters consider the policy implications of the theoretical and practical perspectives offered on questions of conflict and peace. The most important documents that have emerged from a variety of religious groups, notably those represented in the book, outlining their view on issues of peace and human rights are collected here, showing how religious believers have engaged with questions similar to those suggested by the principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 410 0$aInternational studies in religion and society ;$v1. 606 $aPeace$xReligious aspects$vCongresses 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects$vCongresses 615 0$aPeace$xReligious aspects 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects 676 $a201/.7273 701 $aHaar$b Gerrie ter$0662538 701 $aBusuttil$b James J$0256835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817481703321 996 $aBridge or barrier$94199044 997 $aUNINA
