Holy Scriptures as Justifications for War: Fundamentalist Interpretations of the Torah, The New Testament, and The Qur'an

By Albert B. Randall

This study explores in literalism and inerrancy as the interpretive basis of some Jewish, Christian, and Muslim justifications of acts of violence. In the end, an argument is made, on historical, scriptural, moral, and theological grounds, rejecting Holy War as a perversion of God's creation.
