Despite the widespread trends of secularization in the 20th
century, religion has played an important role in several outbreaks
of genocide since the First World War. And yet, not many scholars
have looked either at the religious aspects of modern genocide, or
at the manner in which religion has taken a position on mass
killing. This collection of essays addresses this hiatus by
examining the intersection between religion and state-organized
murder in the cases of the Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, and Bosnian
genocides. Rather than a comprehensive overview, it offers a series
of descrete, yet closely related case studies, that shed light on
three fundamental aspects of this issue: the use of religion to
legitimize and motivate genocide; the potential of religious faith
to encourage physical and spiritual resistance to mass murder; and
finally, the role of religion in coming to terms with the legacy of
atrocity.
