Through sections containing overview essays and reference entries
related to particular religions, this resource explores the rise of
religious violence, hate crime, and persecution around the world.
Religious violence and persecution have been growing steadily both
within the United States and around the world. Drawing on the
expertise of a wide range of scholars, this current and
comprehensive reference helps readers understand the persecution of
members of particular faiths as well as violence committed by
members of those faiths. In doing so, it promotes a greater
understanding of the role of religion in global politics, domestic
and international terrorism, and religious bigotry. The book
contains sections on particular religious traditions from around
the world. Each section begins with an overview essay surveying
violence related to that particular religion, whether committed by
or against members of that faith. Reference entries in each section
then provide objective, fundamental information about particular
topics related to violence and the religion discussed. The entries
provide cross-references and suggestions for further reading, and
the work closes with a bibliography of resources for further study.
