Helps seminary professors, leaders, ministers, mediators, facilitators, and conflict transformation consultants turn conflict from a negative force into a positive one grounded in biblical principles, love of God, neighbor, and self.Transforming conflict into a positive rather than a negative force is a spiritual pursuit and needs to be grounded in biblical principles: love of God, neighbor, and self. This book is a resource for leaders, ministers, mediators, facilitators, and conflict transformation consultants who want to approach their work in this way. Part 1: explains how we can prepare ourselves for the work of engaging conflict, and Part II: explores how we engage others in conflict transformation, outlining specific processes.
This book articulates the vision and practice of conflict transformation developed by the JustPeace organization.
