Peacebuilding in a Fractious World

“No one volume or even one discipline can deal adequately with such a complex issue as peacebuilding, but this interdisciplinary, multi-focused, informative, and stimulating book makes an impressive contribution to this important subject.”


—Charles E Curran, Scurlock University Professor of Human Values, Southern Methodist University





“This book has as its subtitle: ‘On hoping Against All Hope.’ Fortunately for us all, the editors and authors decided to buck those odds. The essays in this hopeful volume are well-researched and diverse enough to make crystal clear that spiritual and religious forces on this planet are strong enough to overcome the worst instincts of those who control and wield the ungodly powers of mass destruction in their hands. Since they make such a convincing case, this book is a must-read for academics and citizens worldwide who fear the worst is yet to come and who yearn for guidance toward a viable and peaceful future.”


—Ted Becker, Alma Holladay Professor of Community Engagement Emeritus, Auburn University
