This book looks at two contradictory ethical motifs-the warrior and
the pacifist-across four major faith traditions-Buddhism, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam-and their role in shaping our understanding
of violence and the morality of its use. The Warrior and the
Pacifist explores how these faith traditions, which now mutually
inhabit our life spaces, bring with them across the millennia the
moral teachings that have traveled from prehistoric humanity,
embedded in the beliefs, rituals, and institutions socially
constructed by humans to deal with ultimate concerns, core aspects
of daily personal and social life, and life transitions.
