War or Words? Interreligious Dialogue as an Instrument of Peace (Musser and Sutherland, eds.)

Striving toward Peace

Any possibility of lasting global peace depends upon dialogue between religions.

This shared assertion by the essayists of War or Words? frames their thoughts on religious dialogue and international peace.

War or Words? was developed from a lecture series at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, entitled "Peace, Violence, and Religion." Like the lectures, the essays explore the contexts of religious dialogue and the promise that such discussions will bring about a more peaceful world.
