Peace and Reconciliation in the Abrahamic Religions: Sources, History and Future Prospects
Abstract:
This paper examines three basic questions: First, the historical experience of the Abrahamic faiths and the role of peace and reconciliation in their evolution; Second, the resources in these religions for peace and reconciliation, by which we mean to refer to traditional beliefs and texts that encourage peace and coexistence; Third, what we need to do today, in terms of deepening peace and reconciliation among religions and how religious teachings can play a central role in resolving conflicts between nations.
