註釋The recent strife of the churches in Ukraine provides a dramatic example of how intolerance can lead to conflict. And similar conflicts over issues of religion and national identity exist in areas of the world as diverse as the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. In Ukraine, the 70-year campaign of religious persecution by the Soviet government was, by almost all accounts, a complete failure. It is now widely affirmed that only a genuine system of religious pluralism and freedom of conscience can overcome this legacy of intolerance. Thus the Ukrainian experience serves as a ringing endorsement of the cause of religious freedom. But serious obstacles remain.

To try and clarify the issues, this book examines the immensely complex history of the Ukrainian conflict and analyzes the prospects for resolution. "
