'An excellent collection of new perspectives for understanding and undertaking measures to apply the lessons from that terrible tragedy.' - John F. Lehman, Chairman, J.F. Lehman& Company and Member of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9-11 Commission) 'This collection of well-written, timely, inter-woven essays will prove of great value to psychologists and educators at all levels?from the novice student to the experienced expert.' - Fathali M. Moghaddam, Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, and author of How Globalization Spurs Terrorism 'This volume completes the fascinating series of books on the impact of 9/11 on various areas of the common life. It evokes fresh reflections on the doctrines of 'just and unjust war,' pacifism, and the relationship of universal ethical principles to national sovereignty and para-state violence. This is a valuable contribution to the study of how events do or do not shape ideas, and how comprehensive worldviews interpret historical events.' - Max L. Stackhouse, De Vries Professor of Theology and Public Life Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary

""A thoughtful and provocative work sure to stimulate significant conversation for years to come."" - Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker ""This book responds to the challenge posed by the religiously motivated violence of 9/11 to moderate Islam and to main-line Western thinking about religion and its relationship to political life. The authors are solid, the essays probing, the insights offered likely to endure."" - James Turner Johnson, Professor of Religion, Rutgers University ""Rarely does one find a book in which the perspectives offered are as diverse as they are provocative and well grounded. This is an essential read for everyone - citizens, educators, religious and governmental leaders - who want to become more critically, and more creatively, engaged with one of the fundamental issues of our time."" - Sharon D.
