It examines the ways in which Christianity and Islam are utilized for political ends, in particular how violence is used (or abused) as an expedient to justify political action. This research focuses on premodern as well as contemporary discourses in the Middle East and Latin America, identifying patterns frequently used to justify the deployment of violence in both hegemonic and anti-hegemonic discourses. In addition, it explores how premodern arguments and authorities are utilized and transformed in order to legitimize contemporary violence as well as the ways in which the use of religion as a means to justify violence alters the nature of conflicts that are not otherwise explicitly religious. It argues that most past and present conflicts, even if the discourses about them are conducted in religious terms, have origins other than religion and/or blend religion with other causes, namely socio-economic and political injustice and inequality. Understanding the use and abuse of religion to justify violence is a prerequisite to discerning the nature of a conflict and might thus contribute to conflict resolution. 410 0$aJudaism, Christianity, and Islam - Tension, Transmission, Transformation ;$vVolume 1. 606 $aReligion and politics$zMiddle East 606 $aReligion and politics$zLatin America 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects 606 $aChristianity$zMiddle East 606 $aChristianity$zLatin America 606 $aIslam$zMiddle East 606 $aIslam$zLatin America 610 $aConflict. 610 $alegitimacy. 610 $areligion. 610 $aviolence. 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslam 676 $a201/.72 686 $aLB 49000$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aKoch$b Bettina$f1970-$0622434 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827966803321 996 $aPatterns legitimizing political violence in transcultural perspectives$94038130 997 $aUNINA
