Fighting Words

Offering a theory for the role of religion in violent conflicts, this book argues that religion creates new scarcities on the basis of unverifiable or illusory criteria. It explains how four 'scarce' resources have figured repeatedly in creating religious violence: sacred space; the creation of holy scriptures; group privilege; and salvation.
