The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding Reviews

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 *
