The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding cover

Featuring numerous case studies from various contexts and traditions, The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding brings together a diverse array of scholars to grapple with the tension between theory and practice, cultural theory, and the legacy of the liberal peace paradigm. This innovative Handbook offers provocative, elastic, and context-specific insights for strategic peacebuilding processes.

This Handbook in a masterful way introduces the past, present and future issues involved in religion, conflict and peacebuilding * Christoph Stenschke, University of South Africa, Journal of Early Christian History *
In expanding the focus to economic, racial, gender, and ethnic justice, the book broadens the concept of violence beyond direct physical violence to the structural and psychological. Included is an interesting discussion of secularism and whether it provides a neutral context for peacemaking or is an exclusivist world view that contributes to violence and Western cultural hegemony. * CHOICE *
