Abstract
AbstractThe unfortunate complicity of religion in conflict and war is well documented. Less well documented, however, are the times and ways religion contributes to making peace. This article adds to the latter body of literature by addressing the link between peacemaking and interreligious dialogue. To that end, it identifies key principles in Islam and Christianity that direct peacemaking efforts. It then compares these principles, identifies key lessons, and suggests directions for future exploration of the potential for interreligious dialogue specifically for peacemaking efforts. It argues that the exploration of interreligious dialogue for peacemaking is becoming more critical as the nature of conflict becomes more intrastate and value differences increasingly drive violence.
