Review Quotes:
"Theodora Hawksley reflects on the theological themes of consolation, forgiveness, and solidarity and the role they ought to play in contemporary peacebuilding. Peacebuilding and Catholic Social Teaching also skillfully draws on the experience of peacebuilders in places such as Northern Ireland and Colombia, infusing the manuscript with realism and practicality." --Matthew A. Shadle, author of The Origins of War
