Summary:
With special reference to theories of just war and jihad, technical terms that arise in connection with the theology of early medieval Christianity and early Islam respectively, American scholars of religion, history, and various social sciences ponder the relationship between religion and violence. Among their topics are the obscenity of war and the imperative of the lesser evil, the Three Vows and contemporary thinking about Jewish holy war, violence in and through the text, holy terror, and Augustine.
