Drawing from the rich textual histories of Christianity and Islam, the contributors mine their faith traditions for ways of thinking and ways of being that help shift perceptions about religion, and actively contribute to the growth of peace in our troubled times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot content with retreat into religious exclusivism, these essays are an act of sharing something held dear. In sharing, the thing offered no longer remains the possession of the one who offers, and so these essays are an act of vulnerability and trust-building. In sharing precious things together, in giving and receiving, peace becomes not only a matter of dialogue, but also shared commitments to ways of being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst Things\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Rees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Peace, Nonviolence, and Islam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZeki Saritoprak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Like Lightning?
