| Summary |
This book brings together a variety of perspectives on how religion can be related to violence and war - both in a destructive and constructive way. Religion can justify and mobilize violence - even terrorism or guerilla wars - just like political ideology. But how is such a link between religion and violent behavior established in the first place? How can we go further in understanding this possible connection between religion and war?Is religious peace work just the flip side of religious support of war? Or can peace work be informed by knowing about how religion promotes violence and war? I |
