| Summary: | Marc Gopin believes that religion can play an important role in forming a global society committed to peace and moral principles. He bases his belief on the fact that in most religions there is a “commitment to peace and elimination of violence” (p. 30) expressed in a broad range of values. Through the “internal hermeneutic dynamics of the tradition” (p. 60)—that is, through a textual investigation of how traditions have changed—he believes that Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others can contribute to promoting peace. |
