This volume examines the limits Islam, Judaism, and Christianity have set for the use of coercive violence. It probes the agreements and disagreements of these major religious traditions on pacifism (the abjurance of all force) and quietism (the avoidance of force unless certain stringent conditions are met).The distinguished contributors examine the foundations for nonviolence in each religion, criticize the positions each religion has taken, address the inherent challenges nonviolence poses, and evaluate the difficulty of practicing nonviolence in a secular society. The concluding essay defines the common ground, isolates the points of conflict, and suggests avenues of further inquiry.The most important contribution this volume makes is to demonstrate that no Western religious tradition provides a basis for the glorification of violence. Rather, each accepts warfare as a regretted necessity and sets strict limits on the use of force.This work offers new insights for those interested in the ethics of warfare, peace studies, religious traditions, and international affairs.

I bought this for my philosophy class, and it’s been a great addition. The author does a fantastic job explaining complex ideas in a relatable way. I really appreciate the focus on non-violent approaches in such a turbulent topic.

Wished for more examples
The theories are compelling, but I was hoping for more real-world examples of pacifism in action. It felt a bit abstract at times. Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth a read if you're into these subjects!

A bit dense for casual readers
While the content is rich, I found it a bit difficult to get through at times. Some sections felt overly academic, which might not appeal to everyone. Still, if you stick with it, there are some really enlightening discussions.
