October 24, 2025 | In an increasingly polarized world, it is necessary to understand the variety of cultures from their specificities and in the context of their origin. Different faith traditions—and the vocabulary that defines them—provide their own tools for understanding the dynamics between religion and violence, as well as ways to overcome violence and build peace. In this panel, three scholars of faith traditions rooted in China, Japan, and India, as well as authors of three chapters of Exiting Violence: The Role of Religion (2024), will discuss the challenges and resources that Asian faith traditions offer to those committed to exiting violence through faith practices.
