Thinking about religion and violence

This course explores the history of religious violence, its multiple manifestations, its scriptural justifications, and how its perpetrators perceive the world. Ony by understanding the roots, causes, and circumstance of religious violence can we grapple with it intellectually and practically. These lectures treat the topic not as something resistant to analysis, but as a recurrent religious impulse that can be decoded, interpreted, and understood through comparison.
