Summary:
Kurtz' (sociology, U. of Texas, Austin) book centers on the relationship among the major faith traditions that inform the thinking and ethical standards of most people in the globalizing world of the 21st century, and the ways that religious communities can either promote violence and warfare or promote the peaceful coexistence of diverse groups. The text has been updated throughout with new references to materials published since the first edition in 1995. Specific revisions to content and/or organization are not identified. Suitable for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
