Summary:

"Statistics reveal that approximately 85.4% of the world's population follows a religion. Since the 1990s, the study of religion has become increasingly integrated into the foreign policy and diplomatic training of various states. Recently, inter religious dialogue has emerged as a key tool for fostering respect among diverse religious and non-religious perspectives, aiming to mitigate the polarization often associated with societal attitudes toward religious diversity. This book explores inter religious dialogue as a means of contributing to peace building. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and protecting the core aspects of religious experience to establish a genuine culture of encounter. This publication is a collaborative effort between university scholars and international experts, developed within the research group "Inter-religious dialogue & Peace-building" led by the Institute of European Studies and Human Rights at the Pontifical University of Salamanca"-- Publisher, page 4 of cover.
