Violence in Antiquity / Gewalt in der Antike
Religiöse Ansätze zu ihrer Legitimierung und Delegitimierung / Religious Approaches to its Legitimation and Delegitimation
Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)
What is the role of religious aspects in legitimizing or delegitimizing violence? The articles of this volume provide an important contribution to this crucial social and scholarly debate. Analysing a broad spectrum of case studies from antiquity, they focus on religious justifications or evaluations of recommended, performed, or forbidden acts of violence – regardless of the question of their historicity. Not only late antiquity and Christianity are considered, but also pre-Christian Greek and Roman civilizations, Judaism, literary myth, and atheism. The case studies cover the period from the fifth century BCE to the fifth century CE and a broad geographical scope extending from Gaul to Israel and Egypt. This volume offers new insights into a highly topical issue.weiterlesen
