This book is recommended for any person studying the nature of violence in religion and the impact the notion of sacrifice has on expressions of faith. -- Wessel, Bentley Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae

This book is recommended for any person studying the nature of violence in religion and the impact the notion of sacrifice has on expressions of faith. --Wessel, Bentley, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae This collective volume focused quite well on the two main aspects of religious violence, warfare and sacrifice. It is very well structured and informative for both for scholars and the general public. It introduces the reader in the field of religion and violence by leading him to select sources, past and present, and this is quite important because it makes him think about his own close relationship with religion and violence. There is also a useful select bibliography on the issue situated at the end the volume that readers can use as a starting point for further exploring the issue. --Alexandros Sakellariou, Journal of Religion and Violence
