Description: Cruel Creeds, Virtuous Violence by Jack David Eller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Drawing on a wealth of case material, this title presents an examination of the many manifestations of religious violence - including sacrifice, self-mortification, religious persecution, ethno-religious conflicts, and religious war - to reveal why certain kinds of religious ideas and practices contribute to certain types of violence. Publisher Description This is an illuminating and objective exploration of the role of religion in violence throughout history and culture. The phrase religious violence often brings to mind dramatic and tragic events - the 9/11 attacks, riots between Hindus and Muslims in India, religious genocide in Africa, and as far back as the Crusades. But, as this illuminating in-depth study shows, violence connected with religion is a phenomenon that encompasses all cultures. Drawing on a wealth of case material, "Cruel Creeds, Virtuous Violence" presents a balanced and objective examination of the many manifestations of religious violence - including sacrifice, self-mortification, religious persecution, ethno-religious conflicts, and religious war - to reveal why certain kinds of religious ideas and practices contribute to certain types of violence. Author Biography Jack David Eller is a successful author, an assistant professor of anthropology at the Community College of Denver, and an editor for the Anthropology Review Database.
