Reviews

This seminal collection by Jason Bruner and David Kirkpatrick features essential insights and diverse interdisciplinary approaches from leading international scholarly voices. Taken together, they show us how the distinct paths that American Religious History and World Christianity each have charted share common trailheads distinctively marked by 'global visions of violence.' Neither field can be understood without the 'global' aspirations that motivate Christianity or the 'violence' that plagues its history and our present. --John D. Carlson co-editor of From Jeremiad to Jihad: Religion, Violence, and America This timely volume puts faces to the agents behind violence today. By interrogating Christian imaginaries of persecution, suffering, and martyrdom within increasingly polarizing, globalizing spaces--real or imagined--Global Visions of Violence expertly complexifies the gendered tropes of religious identities and social vulnerabilities within world Christianity. --Afe Adogame co-editor of Fighting in God's Name: Religion and Conflict in Local-Global Perspectives
