| Summary: | The question of the relationship of religion to violence is one of increasing significance for students of both religion and international policy. In particular, this nexus evokes the question of how to address religious texts such as the New Testament and the Qur'an, where violence is ostensibly codified as part of the religious tradition. In Killing Enmity, Thomas Neufeld offers his most recent exploration of this topic by constructing an account of what the New Testament says with regards to violence., Discerning what counts as “violence” in the Bible is a notoriously difficult task, as some have limited this to actual instances of personal physical violence and some have expanded the definition to include misogyny, lack of access, and inequality. |
