The book "Violence, Religion, Peacemaking" offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of religious leaders in promoting cultures of peace worldwide. It brings together contributions from renowned and emerging scholars as well as practitioners who have lived, taught, or worked in conflict areas. The essays connect theoretical and practical approaches to religious peacebuilding and highlight key challenges in interreligious dialogue and interreligious peace work. With an interreligious, intercultural, and global perspective, the topic of religion and peace is examined from various disciplines such as security studies, sociology, ethics, ecology, theology, and philosophy. A foreword by David Smock, Vice President for Governance, Law, and Society and Director of the Center for Religion and Peacebuilding, provides an overview of the current state of the field.
