War and Peace

Essays on Religion and Violence
Herausgeber: Turner, Bryan S.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book explores the role of religion in war and peace through nine original contributions that examine a range of case studies from different historical periods. Religion, the volume suggests, is typically not the cause of human conflict, but rather the product of actions by the state and the legal system.
