Description

This book provides a multidisciplinary commentary on a wide range of religious traditions and their relationship to acts of violence.

Hate and violence occur at every level of human interaction, as do peace and compassion.

Scholars of religion have a particular obligation to make sense out of this situation, tracing its history and variables, and drawing lessons for the future.

From the formative periods of the religious traditions to their application in the contemporary world, the essays in this volume interrogate the views on violence found within the traditions and provide examples of religious practices that exacerbate or ameliorate situations of conflict.
