Book Synopsis
The question of religion and violence becomes a complex challenge, as is proven by the unusual diversity of the articles in this volume which deals with violence in the sacred writings of the three great book religions. Along with medieval Jewish trials and peasant wars, both the historical and legal dimensions of this subject are also touched upon. Basic philosophical and theological reflections are also considered; whilst it is revealed that structural and societal violence is seemingly less visible when looking at Western economism. This is contrasted with the exemplary perspective on India, illustrating that the issue is consummately ill-defined by viewing it from a purely Western-European perspective. This volume encourages the reader to continue thinking about this current and fundamental problem of mankind.
