The Myth of Religious Violence | Lecture and conversation with theologian William Cavanaugh

Описание: Violence and religion are often mentioned in the same breath. In fact, the idea that religion has a tendency to promote violence is part of the conventional wisdom of Western societies. According to theologian William Cavanaugh, this ‘wisdom’ is actually a myth. And a dangerous one at that, because it helps to construct and marginalize a religious Other as fundamentally different from ourselves. Come and learn from William Cavanaugh about the myth of religious violence.
