University of Kansas), Petri Luomanen (Biblical Studies, University of  
Helsinki), Lucy Grig (School of History, Classics and Archaeology,

different types and levels of conflict and attempts at solving them.  
Points of view vary from political and military to cultural and  
religious conflicts between and within traditions. Please refer to the
