A peculiar and fascinating aspect of many responses to mass
atrocities is the creative and eclectic use of religious language
and frameworks. Some crimes are so extreme that they 'cry out to
heaven', drawing people to employ religious vocabulary to make
meaning of and to judge what happened, to deal with questions of
guilt and responsibility, and to re-establish hope and trust in
their lives. Moreover, in recent years, religious actors have
become increasingly influential in worldwide contexts of
conflict-resolution and transitional justice. This collection
offers a critical assessment of the possibilities and problems
pertaining to attempts to bring religious - or semi-religious -
allegiances and perspectives to bear in responses to the mass
atrocities of our time: When and how can religious language or
religious beliefs and practices be either necessary or helpful? And
what are the problems and reasons for caution or critique? In this
book, a group of distinguished scholars explore these questions and
offer a range of original explanatory and normative perspectives.
