Summary: Characterizing the 2001 attacks on US business and military targets as acts of religious war, scholars of religion and other contributors present essays on themes that the US administration sent out to the world on the carrier waves of the blasts. The four volumes focus in turn on religion, war, and peace; religion and human rights; the interfaith dimension; and spirituality. A sampling of topics turns up demonic religion and violence, Confucian contributions to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, redefining humanity and civilization, and the glory of the divine feminine. Some of the essays are rather rigorously academic, while others are personal and anecdotal. Each volume is paged and indexed separately.
