This book focuses on religiously driven oppositional violence
through the ages. Beginning with the 1st-century Sicari, it
examines the commonalities that link apocalypticism, revolution,
and terrorism occurring in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam past
and present. It is divided into two sections, 'This was Then' and
'This is Now', which together examine the cultural and religious
history of oppositional violence from the time of Jesus to the
aftermath of the 2016 American election. The historical focus
centers on how the movements, leaders and revolutionaries from
earlier times are interpreted today through the lenses of
historical memory and popular culture. The radical right is the
primary but not exclusive focus of the second part of the book. At
the same time, the work is intensely personal, in that it
incorporates the author's experiences in the worlds of communist
Eastern Europe, in the Iranian Revolution, and in the uprisings and
wars in the Middle East and East Africa. This book will be of much
interest to students of religious and political violence, religious
studies, history, and security studies.
