Peacemakers in Action:Profiles of Religion in Conflict ResolutionBy the TANENBAUM CENTER for Interreligious Understanding Edited by Dr. David Little Forword by Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke
This book shares the stories of 16 religious peacemakers who have put their lives on the line in conflicts around the world. For each of them, religious texts and traditions have served as a practical resource in resolving conflict. They are powerful —but underutilized—actors for resolving some of the world’s most horrifying conflicts. As such, this book contains timely information for diplomats, government officials, and conflict resolution practitioners, as well as today’s students of religion and international affairs—our future peacemakers. And in a world where religion-based conflicts affect us all, Peacemakers in Action provides critical lessons and much-needed hope.

Converging Ways?Conversion and Belonging in Buddhism and Christianity.John D'Arcy May There is currently much discussion of both religious conversion and multiple religious belonging, but there has been little examination of their relationship. This book presents a variety of approaches to the problem, from autobiographical accounts of intense personal experience in monastic settings and research into historical controversies and empirical data to a comprehensive theory of multiple belonging by Michael von Brück.

UNDERSTANDING FAITHUnderstanding Islam
Professor Cafer S. Yaran Professor of the Philosophy of Religion Faculty of Theology, University of Istanbul
Islam can be one of the most misunderstood religions. For some people it is a religion of war, whilst for the others it is a religion of peace; as the literal translation of Islam into English indicates. So there is a great need for a sympathetic understanding of Islam. The author introduces Islam in its many dimensions covering the main historical, theological, practical, ethical, spiritual, social, and global themes.
The bed-rock of Islam is the unity of God based on Qur'anic revelation. On this foundation a wide diversity of approaches and understandings have been built, ranging from the theological, philosophical, and Sufistic to the fundamentalist, traditionalist, modernist and post-modernist of recent times. In this book, however, Islam is presented from a mainstream and moderate perspective.
