It has taken many forms: from state-sponsored uses of force such as war or law enforcement, to revolution, secession, terrorism and other actions with important political and cultural implications. Religion also holds a crucial place in the American experience of violence, particularly for those who have found order and meaning in their worlds through religious texts, symbols, rituals, and ideas. Yet too often the religious dimensions of violence, especially in the American context, are ignored or overstated-in either case, poorly understood. From Jeremiad to Jihad: Religion, Violence, and America corrects these misunderstandings. Charting and interpreting the tendrils of religion and violence, this book reveals how formative moments of their intersection in American history have influenced the ideas, institutions, and identities associated with the United States. Religion and violence provide crucial yet underutilized lenses for seeing America anew-including its outlook on, and relation to, the world. 606 $aUnited States - Religion 606 $aUnited States -- Religion 606 $aViolence - Religious aspects 606 $aViolence -- Religious aspects 606 $aViolence - United States 606 $aViolence -- United States 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects$zUnited States 606 $aViolence 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aReligion - General$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aUnited States - Religion. 615 4$aUnited States -- Religion. 615 4$aViolence - Religious aspects. 615 4$aViolence -- Religious aspects. 615 4$aViolence - United States. 615 4$aViolence -- United States. 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects 615 0$aViolence 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aReligion - General 676 $a201.763320973 702 $aCarlson$b John D., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEbel$b Jonathan H., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461131003321 996 $aFrom Jeremiad to Jihad$92488855 997 $aUNINA
