The purpose of this blog is to network with others who are interested in the human terrain component (religion). In my work teaching military professionals I attempt to show that by understanding faith we can turn potential conflict into understanding and, hopefully, peace. No one wants peace more than the soldier but those of us in the military are also concerned enough about justice that we are willing sacrifice peace and die if necessary. As many scholars have noted, despite predictions of God's death, religion is alive and growing. Since the world is becoming more and more religious any intelligent person concerned about world affairs should also be a student of religion. In this blog I will post what I am learning on my journey and hope you will constructively respond thereby creating a "narrative" of learning.
Shalom, Sal'am, Peace
