"This is a philosophical study by a group of scholars from different cultural and religious traditions. It highlights that religion could be a source of both peace and violence in human history and recognizes that education plays a crucial role in the formation of both citizens and nations that are capable of appropriating and realizing in a holistic manner the values inherent to religious traditions. It also emphasizes the importance of going beyond one's narrow and self-centered mindset to learn to accept and integrate the multicultural and multi-religious nature of the world. It discusses the meaning of toleration and reconciliation among different religious traditions"--.
