Why does terrorism appear with such intensity in our era? What is its relationship with religions? How is politics involved in the religious phenomenon? What is peace ultimately? What is its relationship with works of culture? Can there be culture without respect for the uniqueness of the human person? Does life make sense if it is a temporary phenomenon of nature?

These and other questions are answered by the three authors of this volume. Through their texts, they present the Orthodox Christian faith as capable of offering answers to the above critical issues. The coexistence of faith and respect for the other, the connection between freedom and justice, the rejection of violence, and peace as the fullness of life, the union of personal uniqueness and immortality, are some of the topics addressed.
