Summary:
Based on the prestigious Gerald Weisfeld Lectures 2003, this series of essays by eminent authors from Britain and Germany is an excellent grounding in a wide range of world religions and their attitudes to war and peace. Split into three manageable sections, part one looks at war and peace in the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Classical Chinese Thought. Part two looks at the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The final forward looking part brings themes and commonalities together in a discussion of various developments toward peace.
