Description

Much has been written on the relationship between violence and religious militancy, but there has been less research on constructive methods of confronting religious violence.

This book represents an innovative attempt to integrate the study of religion with the study of conflict resolution.

Marc Gopin offers an analysis of contemporary religious violence as a reaction to the pressures of modernity and the increasing economic integration of the world.

He contends that religion is one of the most salient phenomena that will cause massive violence in the next century.

He also argues, however, that religion can play a critical role in constructing a global community of shared moral commitments and vision - a community that can limit conflict to its nonviolent, constructive variety.
