"The topic of religion and violence is both exciting and
provocative, though pitfalls abound when it enters the classroom.
This helpful book contains wise counsel from multiple perspectives,
and should be required reading for anyone considering a course on
this critical topic."--Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the
Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence
"Written by experts in the field, Teaching Religion and Violence is
an engaging manual on introducing students to how religious
violence is dealt with across traditions. This volume is timely and
essential for instructors and future educators in a world where
violence has become normal and often glorified."--Shalahudin
Kafrawi, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Hobart and
William Smith Colleges
