Abstract:
"The fruit of a historic conference of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars and community leaders sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies, the essays address a fundamental question: how the three monotheistic traditions can provide the resources needed in the work of justice and reconciliation." "Two distinguished scholars represent each tradition. Rabbis Irving Greenberg and Reuven Firestone each examine the relationship of Judaism to violence, exploring key sources and the history of power, repentance, and reconciliation. From Christianity, philosopher Charles Taylor explores the religious dimensions of "categorical" violence against other faiths and other groups, while theologian R. Scott Appleby traces the emergence since Vatican II of nonviolence as a foundation of Catholic theology and practice. Mustafa Ceric, Grand Mufti of Bosnia, discusses Muslim support of pluralism and human rights, and Mohamed Fathi Osman examines the relationship between political violence and sacred sources in contemporary Islam."--Jacket.
