Many people now see religious violence as one of the defining
characteristics of the modern world. Instructors are often asked
about it in their courses that deal with religion. Classroom
discussion of violence committed in the name of religion can either
open the door to a more subtle appreciation of complex and divisive
social realities or allow students to display the kind of
ignorance, prejudice, and recalcitrance that can derail critical
analysis. The etiology of religious violence requires the kind of
careful distinctions that instructors must work hard to communicate
even in the best of classroom circumstances. Teaching Religion and
Violence is designed to help instructors to equip students to think
critically about religious violence, particularly in the
multicultural classroom. The book is organized into two sections.
The first, "Traditions," addresses topics and methods appropriate
for teaching violence in particular religious traditions. Each
essay provides a solid starting point for the instructor developing
a new course on violence in one tradition. The overarching aims of
the second section, "Approaches," are to suggest alternative
rubrics for initiating or furthering discussion of religion and
violence and to aid instructors in demonstrating the wide
applicability of the questions and concepts developed here. The
volume as a whole and each of the essays is firmly grounded in the
theoretical literature on religion and violence, in the theory of
pedagogy, and in the collective experience of its authors.
