From Heresies To Holy Wars: Toward A Theory Of Religious Conflict, Lester R. Kurtz
From Heresies To Holy Wars: Toward A Theory Of Religious Conflict, Lester R. Kurtz
Lester R. Kurtz
Explores the elements of a theory of religious conflict, starting with Simmel's understanding of conflict as a form of human sociation and religion as content of a conflict (religious rhetoric and framing are used to carry or explain the conflict) vs. the form of religious conflict, in which the conflict itself takes on a sacred nature. I also examine the ritualization of conflict and the nature of conflict symbols, that is highly-charged symbols that become lightning rods for conflict.
