RELIGIOUS HERMENEUTIC AS A MEANS OF SUSTAINING PEACE 

This paper presents the roles the interpretations of religion (or texts)
and understanding of religion play in the sustainability of peace among
the Yorùbá people of southwest Nigeria. The Yorùbá’s way of interacting
and practising religion has remained moderately amiable over the last
two centuries when compared with other communities in Nigeria. With
attention on Yorùbá Christians and Muslims, this author examines some
specific religious concepts and values that have been useful in guiding
the two religions to retain their peace or return to dialogue table to
refrain from violence and keep the peace. The paper argues that the
interpretations of some religious terms and values among the Yorùbá
enhance their pursuance of peace.

of the author’s doctoral dissertation with a few amendments to suit this
