Шановні підписники!

Безумовно, тема «релігія і війна» стане однією з трендових протягом наступних кількох років у вітчизняному релігієзнавстві – так було у країнах колишньої Югославії. У зв’язку із цим, вважаю, що західна історіографія може бути гарним початком для осмислення цієї теми, адже окремі фахівці, як наприклад Марк Юргенсмайєр, займаються цією проблемою усе своє життя. Сам я тільки-но прочитав невелику, науково-популярну книгу Дж. Мітчела та Дж. Рея. Наприкінці книги вони подають обрану бібліографію з проблеми. Я вирішив ознайомити вас із частиною їхнього списку. Сподіваюсь, що Вам це буде корисно. Час від часу заглядайте у коментарі – якщо я знаходитиму електронний варіант книги, то прикріплюватиму його туди.

І давайте разом зберемо вітчизняну бібліографію з цієї проблеми! Пишіть у коментарях які книги з проблеми ви знаєте.

Фотографія до цього посту зроблена моїми друзями та колегами з "Майстерні академічного релігієзнавства" у межах проєкту «Релігія в огні». Слідкуйте за проєктом тут. #R_W

Mitchell J., Rey J. War and Religion: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford university press, 2021. 138 p.
ISBN 978-0-19-880321-8

This book provides an overview of the history of religion and war, and a framework for analysing it. Ranging from the warrior gods of Ancient Greece and Rome, and the ethical drama of the Mahabharata, through the Islamic wars of conquest and the Crusades, to present day conflicts in Sri Lanka and the Balkans, it considers the entanglement of war and religion. Yet from Just War theory and the restraints on war-making imposed by Islamic jurisprudence, through the Pax Christi of the middle ages, to the non-violence of Gandhi and Bacha Khan; there is also a story to be told of peace and religion as well. #R_W

Appleby S. The Ambivalence of the Sacred: Religion, Violence, and Reconciliation. Rowman & Littlefield, 1999. 448 p.
978-0-8476-8554-7

Terrorists and peacemakers may grow up in the same community and adhere to the same religious tradition. The killing carried out by one and the reconciliation fostered by the other indicate the range of dramatic and contradictory responses to human suffering by religious actors. Yet religion's ability to inspire violence is intimately related to its equally impressive power as a force for peace, especially in the growing number of conflicts around the world that involve religious claims and religiously inspired combatants. This book explains what religious terrorists and religious peacemakers share in common, what causes them to take different paths in fighting injustice, and how a deeper understanding of religious extremism can and must be integrated more effectively into our thinking about tribal, regional, and international conflict. #R_W

Armstrong K. Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence. Anchor, 2015. 528 p.

In these pages, one of our greatest writers on religion, Karen Armstrong, amasses a sweeping history of humankind to explore the perceived connection between war and the world’s great creeds—and to issue a passionate defense of the peaceful nature of faith.
With unprecedented scope, Armstrong looks at the whole history of each tradition—not only Christianity and Islam, but also Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Judaism. Religions, in their earliest days, endowed every aspect of life with meaning, and warfare became bound up with observances of the sacred. Modernity has ushered in an epoch of spectacular violence, although, as Armstrong shows, little of it can be ascribed directly to religion. Nevertheless, she shows us how and in what measure religions came to absorb modern belligerence—and what hope there might be for peace among believers of different faiths in our time. #R_W

Cavanaugh W. The Myth of Religious Violence: Secular Ideology and the Roots of Modern Conflict. Oxford University Press, 2009. 272 p.
ISBN 978-0-1953-8504-5

The idea that religion has a dangerous tendency to promote violence is part of the conventional wisdom of Western societies, and it underlies many of our institutions and policies, from limits on the public role of religion to efforts to promote liberal democracy in the Middle East. William T. Cavanaugh challenges this conventional wisdom by examining how the twin categories of religion and the secular are constructed. A growing body of scholarly work explores how the category 'religion' has been constructed in the modern West and in colonial contexts according to specific configurations of political power. Cavanaugh draws on this scholarship to examine how timeless and transcultural categories of 'religion and 'the secular' are used in arguments that religion causes violence. #R_W

Hashmi S. (ed.) Just Wars, Holy Wars, and Jihads: Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Encounters and Exchanges. Oxford University Press, 2012. 433 p.
ISBN 978-0-1997-5504-2

This book explores the development of ideas of morally justified or legitimate war in Western and Islamic civilizations. Historically, these ideas have been grouped under three labels: just war, holy war, and jihad. The twenty chapters of this book explore two broad questions: What historical evidence exists that Christian and Jewish writers on just war and holy war and Muslim writers on jihad knew of the other tradition? What is the evidence in treatises, chronicles, speeches, ballads, and other historical records, or in practice, that either tradition influenced the other? The book surveys the period from the rise of Islam in the early seventh century to the present day. #R_W

Juergensmeyer M. God at War: A Meditation on Religion and Warfare. Oxford University Press, 2020. 120 p.
ISBN 978-0-1900-7917-8

This book explores the dark attraction between religion and warfare and explains why religion needs war and war needs religion. Virtually every religious tradition leaves behind it a bloody trail of stories, legends, and images of war, and most wars call upon the divine for blessings in battle. This book probes the remarkably similar alternative realities that are created in the human imagination by both religious ideas and images of war in response to crises both personal and social. Based on the author’s thirty years of fieldwork interviewing activists involved in religious-related terrorist movements around the world, this book explains why desperate social conflict and personal fears lead to extremes of both religion and war, and why invariably God is thought to be engaged in battle. #R_W

Juergensmeyer M. Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence. 4th Edition. University of California Press, 2017. 408 p.
ISBN 978-0-5202-9135-5

Why would anybody believe that God could sanction terrorism? Why has the rediscovery of religion’s power in recent years manifested in such a bloody way? What, if anything, can be done about it?
The book answers these questions and more. Thoroughly revised and expanded, the book analyzes in detail terrorism related to almost all the world’s major religious traditions: European Christians who oppose Muslim immigrants; American Christians who support abortion clinic bombings and militia actions; Muslims in the Middle East associated with the rise of ISIS, al Qaeda, and Hamas; India's Hindus linked to assaults on Muslims in the state of Gujarat and Sikhs identified with the assassination of Indira Gandhi; and Buddhist militants in Myanmar affiliated with anti-Muslim violence and in Japan with the nerve gas attack in Tokyo’s subway. #R_W

Jerryson M., Juergensmeyer M., Kitts M. (eds). The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence. Oxford University Press, 2013 р. 653 p.
ISBN 978-0-19-975999-6

Violence has always played a part in the religious imagination, from symbols and myths to legendary battles, from colossal wars to the theater of terrorism. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence offers intersections between religion and violence throughout history and around the world. Its forty chapters include overviews of major religious traditions, showing how violence is justified within the literary and theological foundations of the tradition, how it is used symbolically and in ritual practice, and how social acts of violence and warfare have been justified by religious ideas. They also examine patterns and themes relating to religious violence, such as sacrifice and martyrdom, which are explored in cross-disciplinary or regional analyses; and offer major analytic approaches, from literary to social scientific studies. #R_W

Omer A., Appleby R., Little D. (eds.) The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding. Oxford University Press, 2015. 712 p.
ISBN 978-0-1997-3164-0

The book explores the legacies of colonialism, missionary activism, secularism, orientalism, and liberalism. The volume is organized thematically, beginning with a mapping of scholarship on religion, violence, and peace. The second part scrutinizes challenges to secularist theorizing of questions of conflict transformation and broadens the discussion of violence. The third part engages contested issues such as religion’s relations to development, violent and nonviolent militancy; and gender as it relates to religious peacebuilding. The fourth part highlights the practice of peacebuilding through exploring constructive resources within various traditions, the transformative role of rituals, spiritual practices in the formation of peacebuilders, the relation of religion to solidarity activism, and scriptural reasoning as a peacebuilding practice. #R_W

Два тижні я вас знайомив із західної бібліографією з проблеми «релігії і війна». Звісно на цьому вона не вичерпується. Зокрема, моя подруга і колега Ірина Фенно прислала мені посилання ще на 7 книг німецьких авторів. Я обов’язково зроблю пости із цими книгами, але не зараз. Відчуваю перенасичення каналу зарубіжними книжками.
На жаль українських книг, ми з вами згадали не так багато. Зокрема, про одну з них вже йшлося на каналі. Була ще одна книга про джигад. Я згадав ще кілька книг про капеланство – цілком релевантна тематика у проблематиці «релігії та війна» і одна з актуальних проблем, яку активно обговорювали фахівці з 2014 року. #R_W

Книга публікується в рамках проекту HESP RESET "Багатство, бідність і задоволеність життям у транзитивних суспільствах", базою проведення якого є Південна Україна. Саме цей регіон, що включає і Кримський півострів, останнім часом знаходиться у центрі світової уваги, виступаючи втіленням чи не всіх викликів, що постають перед транзитивними суспільствами Східної Європи. Тож одним із завдань видання є надання учасникам проекту можливостей ознайомитись із важливим етапом минулого Південної України, в якому можна шукати витоки багатьох з теперішніх проблем. Крім того, в контексті тематики проекту вкрай важливо, що книга дозволяє поглянути на проблеми багатства, бідності та задоволеності життям у прикладенні до такого специфічного сегменту соціуму, як православне духовенство, що задовольняло духовні потреби військових. #R_W
