Description

Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars explore the violence in religious scriptures and traditions, identifying the language, imagery, story and ideology which reside deep within these texts, and how they are interpreted.
“This important collection of essays deals deftly with the issue of religious inspired political violence …The distinguished panel of contributors provide a wealth of insights from a range of perspectives that deserve close attention and prayerful consideration”
Tom Frame, Anglican Bishop to the Australian Defence Force (2001-2007).
“This publication is to be highly commended for its honesty in acknowledging the violence in scriptures of more than one faith, for the perspectives it brings…and for the way in which it also honours the fine religious traditions of nonviolence and peace making.”
Gregor Henderson, President Uniting Church.
Contributors: Jione Havea, Christoper D Stanley, Elizabeth Raine and John T Squires, Anastasia Boniface-Malle, David Neville, Mehmet Ozalp, William Emilsen, Heather Thomson, Chris Budden, Rachael Kohn and Garry Trompf.
