| Résumé: | This introductory article orients the reader to the topic of this volume - the religious hermeneutics of violence - and situates the individual articles within the wider discussion of the role of religion in acts of violence. Summarising the state of modern scholarship on key debates concerning religion and violence, this article encourages the careful study of how individuals or groups in peculiar historical circumstances interact with their sacred texts and beliefs in a way that facilitates violence or oppression. Though the relationship between sacred texts and violence is complicated, few subjects so demand our attention and require our careful thought. |
