  This book presents portraits of practitioners of non-violence in the world religions, as well as an examination of the issues of concern. Part one contains brief biographies of prominent and lesser known figures -- from Desmond Tutu to Thich Nhat Hanh -- who have been instrumental in advocating non-violence in religion. Part two examines issues like war and peace, reconciliation, and social justice. The book speaks powerfully both to religious and non-religious people.
