Intended for students as well as scholars of religion and violence,
Belief and Bloodshed discusses how the relationship between
religion and violence is not unique to a post-9/11 world-it has
existed throughout all of recorded history and culture. The book
makes clear the complex interactions between religion, violence,
and politics to show that religion as always innocent or always
evil is misguided, and that rationalizations by religion for
political power and violence are not new. Chronologically
organized, the book shows religiously motivated violence across a
variety of historical periods and cultures, moving from the ancient
to medieval to the modern world, ending with an essay comparing the
speeches of an ancient king to the speeches of the current U.S.
President.
