Confronting Genocide: Judaism, Christianity, Islam

by Steven Leonard Jacobs (Editor), Donald J. Dietrich (Contributor), Mohammad Omar Farooq (Contributor)

Confronting Genocide: Judaism, Christianity, Islam is the first collection of essays by recognized scholars primarily in the field of religious studies to address this timely topic. In addition to theoretical thinking about both religion and genocide and the relationship between the two, these authors look at the tragedies of the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Rwanda, Bosnia, and the Sudan from their own unique vantage point. In so doing, they supply a much needed additional contribution to the ongoing conversations proffered by historians, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and legal scholars regarding prevention, intervention, and punishment.

It is odd to mark a book on the topic of genocide as "really liked it," but this book was excellent at introducing me to the world of religion and genocide studies.
