Summary

"Responding to the profound challenges of our times, this book provides a comparative and cross-cultural exploration of the role of religion in war in a long historical perspective, from the second millennium BCE, and even earlier, and up to early modernity. Individual chapters focus on the ancient Near East, the Mediterranean basin, Europe, and North Africa. Widely diverse case studies explore the historic link between the conduct of war and the growing complexity of human society conditioned by the ownership of ideological authority, which in most historical societies was religious"-- Provided by publisher.
