Religion without Violence

More about the book

The book explores the initiative started in 1992 by Peter Ochs and colleagues to promote interfaith dialogue through the close reading of sacred texts from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It emphasizes the importance of respectful engagement and understanding among different religious traditions, particularly in the wake of post-9/11 tensions. By fostering an environment where participants can listen to and learn from each other's Scriptures, the work aims to cultivate peaceful interreligious relationships and envision a future of non-violent coexistence.
