Violence has been a central feature of AmericaOCOs history,
culture, and place in the world. It has taken many forms: from
state-sponsored uses of force such as war or law enforcement, to
revolution, secession, terrorism and other actions with important
political and cultural implications. Religion also holds a crucial
place in the American experience of violence, particularly for
those who have found order and meaning in their worlds through
religious texts, symbols, rituals, and ideas. Yet too often the
religious dimensions of violence, especially in the American
context, are ignored or overstatedOCoin either case, poorly
understood. "From Jeremiad to Jihad: Religion, Violence, and
America" corrects these misunderstandings. Charting and
interpreting the tendrils of religion and violence, this book
reveals how formative moments of their intersection in American
history have influenced the ideas, institutions, and identities
associated with the United States. Religion and violence provide
crucial yet underutilized lenses for seeing America
anewOCoincluding its outlook on, and relation to, the world.
