This book explores the dual role of religion as both a potential cause of violence and a powerful force for peace. It presents an interdisciplinary approach to examining how religion intersects with social conflict and peacebuilding. Drawing on diverse perspectives from the VI International Conference on Religion, the authors delve into case studies and theoretical frameworks to understand how faith traditions can either exacerbate societal divides or inspire reconciliation and visions for peace. The book addresses the challenges and opportunities in harnessing religious values for fostering interfaith dialogue and conflict resolution, making it a vital resource for scholars and peace practitioners alike.
