Is religion inherently predisposed to violence? Or has religion been taken hostage by a politics of aggression? The years since the end of the Cold War have shown a noticeable shift in patterns of religious extremism accentuating the uncomfortable complex and oft-misunderstood relationship between religion and violence. The essays in this succinct new volume examine that relationship by offering a well-rounded look at violence as it appears in the world s most prominent religious traditions exploring Hindu Buddhist Chinese Sikh Jewish Christian Islamic African and Pacific Island texts and practices. The essays in Violence and the World s Religious Traditions explore the ways in which specific religions have justified acts of destruction in history in scripture and in the contemporary world. But the collection also offers an investigation of religious symbols and practices shedding new light on the very nature of religion and confronting the question of how deeply intertwined are violence and faith.
