This timely volume addresses the rising interest in the role of religion in global issues worldwide, using the ambitious Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the framework for this exploration.
Addressed to policy makers, academics and practitioners worldwide, this progressive and engaging volume offers provides pragmatic studies which further the interreligious, international and interdisciplinary understanding of the role of religion in the area of human rights.
In this ground-breaking volume, the authors analyze the role of religion in conflict and conflict resolution. They do so from the perspectives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, while bringing different disciplines into play, including peace and conflict studies, religious studies, theology, and ethics. With much of current academic, political, and public attention focusing on the conflictive dimensions of religion, this book also explores the constructive resources of religion for conflict resolution and reconciliation. Analyzing the specific contributions of religious actors in this field, their potentials and possible problems connected with them, this book sheds light on the concrete contours of the oftentimes vague "religious factor" in processes of social change. Case studies in current and former settings of violent conflict such as Israel, post-genocide Rwanda, and Pakistan provide "real-life" contexts for discussion. Combining cutting-edge research with case studies and concrete implications for academics, policy makers, and practitioners, this concise and easily accessible volume helps to build bridges between these oftentimes separated spheres of engagement.

Schuldübernahme ist ein Problem, mit dem Dietrich Bonhoeffer Zeit seines Lebens und besonders im aktiven Widerstand gegen die Hitlerdiktatur gerungen hat. Nehmen wir nur „passiv“ teil an der Schuld anderer (z. B. in der Fürbitte), oder müssen wir selbst „aktiv“ schuldig werden (z. B. im Widerstand)? Wie hängt Schuldübernahme zusammen mit verantwortlichem Handeln? Diesen und anderen Fragen wird kritisch nachgespürt in Bezugnahme auf Bonhoeffers gesamte Werke, v. a. seine Ethik.
