Excellent- More about Religion and Violence in Western Traditions: Selected Studies

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between religion and violence across the Western traditions of the three Abrahamic faiths,spanning from ancient to modern times. By bridging the gap between scholars specializing in pre-modern religions and scriptural traditions and those focused on contemporary manifestations of religious violence,it offers a fresh perspective on the scholarly debate surrounding religious violence.
Rather than solely addressing the question of the "authenticity" of religious violence,this book brings together a diverse range of scholars from various disciplines. Contributors examine the profound influence that religious texts have wielded,both in promoting and confronting violence. The interdisciplinary dialogue that ensues challenges the notion that religious violence can be fully understood without considering the religious scriptures,beliefs,and historical contexts that shape it.
Each chapter in this book focuses on a specific case study from a distinct historical period, providing a rich and detailed analysis of the interplay between religion and violence. Taken together, these chapters paint a compelling picture of the enduring relationship between religion and violence that connects the ancient and contemporary worlds.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars engaged in the study of Religious Studies, Theology, Religion, and Violence. It will also be of interest to students of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic Studies, as it offers insights into the complex dynamics of religion and violence within these faith traditions.
