Incisive contributions from leading and emerging scholars in the field of Peace Studies

In the Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace, a team of renowned scholars delivers an authoritative and interdisciplinary sourcebook that addresses the key concepts, history, theories, models, resources, and practices in the complex and ambivalent relationship between religion and peace. The editors have included contributions from a wide range of perspectives and locations that reflect diverse methods and approaches.

The Companion provides a collection grounded in experience and context that draws on established, developing, and new research characterized by academic rigor. The differences between the approaches taken by several religious traditions are fully explored and numerous case studies highlight relevant theories, models, and resources.

Accessible as either a standalone collection or as a partner to the Companion to Religion and Violence, this edited volume also offers:

  • A thorough introduction to religion and its search for peace, including the relationships between religion and peace and theories and practices for studying the interplay between religion and peace
  • Comprehensive explorations of religion and peace in local contexts, including discussions of women's empowerment and peacebuilding in an Islamic context
  • Practical discussions of practices and embodiments of religion and peace, including treatments of museums for peace and self-religion in global peace movements
  • In-depth examinations of lived Christian theologies and building peace, including discussions of Martin Luther King Jr. and spiritual activism in Scotland

Perfect for students and scholars of peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peace building, the Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace will also earn a place in the libraries of anyone professionally or personally interested in the field of Peace or Religious Studies, International Relations, History, Politics, or Theology.

From the Back Cover

The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace provides an expansive and interdisciplinary view of the complex relationship between religion and peace. Reflecting diverse experience and context, this pioneering volume draws on established, developing, and new research to explore how religious ideals and visions of peace have been expressed and contested in a wide range of different traditions, movements, and practices. Fifty original chapters by leading international scholars and practitioners offer ground-breaking insights into the concepts, history, theories, resources, and practices that have shaped religion’s role in challenging violence and building peace.

Accessible as a standalone collection or as a partner to The Blackwell Companion to Religion and Violence, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Peace is essential reading for advanced students and scholars of peacemaking, peacekeeping, or peacebuilding, as well as a valuable resource for general readers with interest in areas including peace studies, conflict transformation, religious studies, ethics, theology, international relations, political science, philosophy, sociology and history.

    I am the McDonald Distinguished Scholar of Ethics, War, and Public Life at "Providence: A Journal of Christianity & American Foreign Policy," a publication and research institute I helped found in 2015. I also serve as a non-resident research fellow at the US Naval War College. From 2020-21 I was a research fellow at The Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership at the US Naval Academy, where I taught in the core ethics program in the Department of Leadership, Ethics, and Law. From the summer of 2018 to the fall of 2020, I was the McDonald Research Scholar at the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics, & Public Life at Christ Church, Oxford University.

    Prior to these roles, I did my PhD at the University of Chicago, where I had the joy of working under the supervision of the political theorist and public intellectual Jean Bethke Elshtain, until her death in August, 2013. Before all this academic stuff, I spent twelve years in Slovakia doing a variety of things throughout Central Europe—ranging from helping build sport and recreational leagues in post-communist communities, to teaching writing, literature, and philosophy at Comenius University, to working at a Christian study and research center, to leading seminars on history and ethics onsite at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camp in Poland. This latter experience allowed me to continue my undergraduate study of the Shoah, an ongoing preoccupation that has rendered me entirely unfit for pacifism.

    I live in Annapolis, Maryland with my wife and children–and a "marmota monax" whistlepigging under the shed.
