Book excerpt: Religion in its most negative form has and can be the basis of conflict escalation and terror. However, religion in its more noble and elevated forms can also be a force for peacebuilding, particularly between Jews and Arabs. If the slow but steady progress toward Israel’s acceptance into Middle East continues, an interreligious dimension will clearly accompany it as the Abraham Accords demonstrates. Yet, as the region continues to evolve and new challenges emerge, new peacebuilding strategies will be required. Approaches to Jewish-Arab Interreligious Dialogue and Peacebuilding: Theory and Practice follows the genre of scholars and practitioners who have contended that the religious contribution to conflict resolution and peacebuilding has been sorely overlooked, particularly in the Middle East. Based on the author's rich professional experience this book delves into the complexities of Jewish-Arab relations by examining both the theoretical frameworks and practical initiatives that seek to bridge divides through religious dialogue. Covering topics such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, Jewish political tradition, and religious diplomacy, this book is an essential resource for academicians, scholars, practitioners in peacebuilding, policymakers, government officials, religious leaders and communities, students and educators, and more.
