Killing for God: An Analysis of Conflict in the Abrahamic Religions de Stephen Schwalbe

Killing for God: An Analysis of Conflict in the Abrahamic Religions

Autor Stephen Schwalbe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2021
Given the extremely high cost of overseas military operations today, the author offers readers scholarly insights as to what motivates kingdoms, countries, and groups to engage in religious conflict, beginning with those found in the Hebrew Bible. To do this, he analyzes three related religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, to determine their similarities and differences regarding the killing of people. The areas of conflict analysis include Fundamentalism, Proselytization, Sacrifice (to include martyrdom), and Revenge (to include genocide). The insights of preeminent religious and political scholars are integrated into this comprehensive analysis of conflict involving religion, leading to an answer to the ultimate question: Is the killing worth it?

Recenzii

"Much has been written on aspects of religious conflict over the years. Stephen Schwalbe provides a unique perspective, a golden thread, weaving theology, and religious justification for conflict from sacrifice to terrorism in a digestible and coherent manner. His works presents a very useful perspective in academic environments, but it is an excellent read. I highly recommend members of our Armed Forces deploying overseas read this as a primer and it be incorporated into Service School curriculums."
"When people and leaders of countries and movements use war and terrorism to respond to grievances, they often use religion and the Bible or the Quran to justify violence. Stephen Schwalbe in Killing for God: An Analysis of Conflict in the Abrahamic Religions argues convincingly that denying these connections deepens present and future conflicts. Confronting them requires us to accept that the Bible and the Quran contain many flawed ideas and traditions about religion and God compiled by human writers over many hundreds of years. He encourages 'the reader to contemplate that if religion is human-made, it [then] can't be used to justify killing someone else or even oneself.' These simple insights are foundational to efforts to build a more peaceful world. "
[This] current volume provides an insightful discussion of the issues related to the conflict in the Abrahamic faiths. Those who are seriously interested in this topic of religious conflict would find this book noteworthy.
