The world continues to be threatened by non-state,
religiously-rationalized violence. While some fail to the see the
connections between the United States' intervention in the Middle
East and this ongoing threat, the non-state perpetrators of terror
consistently identify American meddling as one of their principle
motivating grievances. What are the social and cultural roots of
different religious positions on the war in Iraq? Christianity and
American State Violence in Iraq returns to a critical moment in
U.S. foreign policy, during which American Christians publicly
debated war in Iraq. It examines the religious precepts that were
used to argue both for and against the United States' military
engagement in Iraq. To capture this behavior, Christopher A.
Morrissey delves into the distinct social and cultural origins of
both war-supporting and war-challenging positions. His analysis
represents an improved understanding of the public role of religion
in important foreign policy debates and helps us better understand
how religious culture can legitimate or challenge state violence.
An original and timely resource on the social sources of religion's
ambivalence towards violence and peace in the US and abroad.
