description: To launch the new series, International Studies in Religion and Society, scholars of religion, law, anthropology, and other disciplines focus on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; however, an additional chapter on Buddhism provides a contrast with the Abrahamic religions. The 11 essays, some commissioned for the volume after the 2001 conference, cover religion, conflict, and peace; religious perspectives on conflict and peace; and visions for peace. A final section provides documentary resources for readers inspired to take action. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
