This book examines how world religions, often associated with violence, also inspire social welfare and peacemaking activism. Contributors from various religious traditions—Aboriginal, Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian—analyze spiritual resources for fostering peace. The book explores challenges within sacred texts and traditions while offering case studies from Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Cambodia, and South Africa to demonstrate spiritual contributions to peacebuilding.
