More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of spirituality and conflict, this book explores the religious dimensions of holy war across various cultures and religions. It delves into the "spirituality of war," presenting it as a common heritage that encompasses figures from the Bible, the Quran, crusaders, mujahidins, samurais, and Aztec priests. The narrative argues that war can serve as a pathway to liberation and introspection, challenging conventional perspectives on the motivations behind such conflicts.
