Richard Rubenstein speaks at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, CA.

In his latest book, "Thus Saith the Lord," Rubenstein studies how God of the ancient Israelites has influenced how we resolve conflict, and created the foundation of the American judicial system.

Rubenstein is a former director and current faculty member of George Mason University's Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR), the nation's oldest and largest graduate program in conflict studies. An expert on religious conflict, terrorism, and methods of resolving serious international and domestic disputes, Rubenstein has lectured throughout America and Europe on topics ranging from the philosophy and practice of conflict resolution to the war on terrorism and the current conflict in Iraq.
