Over more than two millennia, the world’s leading religious traditions have provided guidance in questions of when war can be justified, and of what methods and targets are permissible in war. Linking deep historical analysis to contemporary issues, this volume provides valuable insight, and prompts us to rethink our understanding of the role and influence of religion in state politics.
