Reset Dialogues on Civilizations (DOC), in collaboration with the Oasis Foundation, presents a book launch event for Exiting Violence: The Role of Religion (2024), edited by Debora Tonelli and Gerard Mannion. The book contains a collection of essays that examine the theme of violence in religious traditions and their sacred texts. It also explores the paths that lead to radicalism and violence and those that allow them to be overcome. The presentation of the book, which was published in English, will be accompanied by excerpts read in Italian.
This event is sponsored by the Nomis Foundation, Center for Religious Studies at the Bruno Kessler Foundation, the Oasis Foundation, Casa della Cultura in Milan, and the Georgetown University Representative Office in Rome.
