Violence, Scripture, and Textual Practice in Early Judaism and Christianity

By Ra'anan S. Boustan

This volume analyzes the emergence of Jewish and Christian discourses of "religious violence" within their Roman imperial context with an emphasis on the shared textual practices through which authoritative scriptural traditions were redeployed to represent, legitimate, and indeed sacralize violence.
