The book provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on religion, conflict, and peacebuilding. With a focus on structural and cultural violence, the volume also offers a cutting edge interdisciplinary reframing of the scope of scholarship in the field. [This] book broadens the concept of violence beyond direct physical violence to the structural and psychological. Included is an interesting discussion of secularism and whether it provides a neutral context for peacemaking or is an exclusivist world view that contributes to violence and Western cultural hegemony.n Recommended.
