The new book Exiting Violence: The Role of Religion explores the complex web of religion, politics, and conflict and shows how faith can ignite bloodshed and inspire peace. Resulting from an international collaboration between the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, RESET-Dialogues Among Civilizations, and the Berkley Center, this collection assesses the state of scholarship and explores the differing ways in which religion can contribute to societies and communities exiting situations of violence and hatred. From Biblical hermeneutics to Buddhism, from secularism to legal systems, Exiting Violence offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the multifaceted role religion plays in the human struggle for peace and justice.
At this virtual book launch event, four Georgetown scholars involved in the project discussed Exiting Violence.
This event was convened by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Georgetown University Representative Office in Rome.
