Summary / Abstract (Note) | Gideon Aran and Ron Hassner, both distinguished scholars of religious violence, offer a rich discussion of violence in Judaism. They guide the reader on a tour from the past to the present, making stops at crucial crossroads and offering a sophisticated discussion in which they draw lines between biblical texts, culture, and contemporary political events. The authors' backgrounds (Aran is an anthropologist and Hassner is a political scientist) turn the text into a compelling exploration of the phenomenon and a real tour de force. |
