- Synopsis
- Nelson-Pallmeyer explores the ways in which the sacred texts of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam seemingly justify violence against enemies in the service of God's will. He challenges the understanding of power that lies at the heart of the Bible and the Quran, arguing that nonviolence is crucial to the future of humanity and that the abusive visions of power presented in sacred texts should be challenged.
