Violence in Antiquity / Gewalt in der Antike

Religious Approaches to its Legitimation and Delegitimation / Religiöse Ansätze zu ihrer Legitimierung und Delegitimierung /

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

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
