Buddhism for a Violent World: A Christian Reflection

Elizabeth Harris explores what Buddhism has to say about the human condition and in particular about living in a violent world. Drawing on the realities of the violent ethnic conflicts in Sri Lanka, the book shows that there are no easy answers but Buddhism has much to offer to those who want to understand better the dynamics of conflict. Written by a Christian with a positive perspective on Buddhism, this book illustrates the practical as well as theoretical value of dialogue and mutual respect in a troubled world.
