This volume will be of interest to all scholars engaged in developing a Theology and ethic of just peace, as well as students seeking to understand the interaction between theology, ethics, and lived Christianity.
While many of the essays deal with general themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, interreligious dialogue, and human rights, there are also case studies of peacebuilding in such diverse contexts as Colombia, the Philippines, the Great Lakes region of Africa, Indonesia, and South Africa.
In this volume a strong cast of Catholic theologians, ethicists, and scholar-practitioners join to examine the challenge of peacebuilding in theory and practice. "Peacebuilding" refers to a range of topics, ranging from conflict prevention to post-conflict reconciliation.
