These organizations are deeply rooted in religious beliefs and practices, and their political role is informed by these religious ideas and practices. This book explores the relationship between these organizations and their religious identity, values, and practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReligions for Peace, the Taizé Community, and International Justice Mission are three transnational faith-based organizations that are examined in this book. These organizations have different religious backgrounds and approaches to their work, but they all share a commitment to promoting peace, justice, and human rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReligions for Peace is a global interfaith organization that promotes peace and reconciliation between different religions and cultures.

The book also evaluates the distinctive strategies that faith-based organizations employ to navigate religious difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA central goal of the book is to propose a new way to study \"religion\" in international politics, by actively questioning and reflecting on what it means for an act, idea, or community to be \"religious.\" The book challenges traditional understandings of religion as a static and universal phenomenon and instead proposes a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of religion. The book argues that religion is not just a set of beliefs and practices but is also a dynamic and fluid phenomenon that is shaped by a range of social, cultural, and political factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, this book provides a valuable contribution to the study of religion in international politics. It demonstrates the political importance of prayer in the work of transnational faith-based organizations and proposes a new way to study \"religion\" in international politics.
