What is the role of religious aspects in legitimizing or delegitimizing violence? The articles of this volume provide an important contribution to this crucial social and scholarly debate. Analysing a broad spectrum of case studies from antiquity they focus on religious justifications or evaluations of recommended performed or forbidden acts of violence - regardless of the question of their historicity. Not only late antiquity and Christianity are considered but also pre-Christian Greek and Roman civilizations Judaism literary myth and atheism. The case studies cover the period from the fifth century BCE to the fifth century CE and a broad geographical scope extending from Gaul to Israel and Egypt. This volume offers new insights into a highly topical issue.
