In Global Visions of Violence, the editors and contributors argue that violence creates a lens, bridge, and method for interdisciplinary collaboration that examines Christianity worldwide in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By analyzing the myriad ways violence, persecution, and suffering impact Christians and the imagination of Christian identity globally, this interdisciplinary volume integrates the perspectives of ethicists, historians, anthropologists, and ethnographers to generate new conversations. Taken together, the chapters in this book challenge scholarship on Christian growth that has not accounted for violence while analyzing persecution narratives that can wield data toward partisan ends.  This allows Global Visions of Violence to push urgent conversations forward, giving voice to projects that illuminate wide and often hidden landscapes that have been shaped by global visions of violence, and seeking solutions that end violence and turn toward the pursuit of justice, peace, and human rights among suffering Christians.

Recenzii

"This seminal collection by Jason Bruner and David Kirkpatrick features essential insights and diverse interdisciplinary approaches from leading international scholarly voices. Taken together, they show us how the distinct paths that American Religious History and World Christianity each have charted share common trailheads distinctively marked by 'global visions of violence.' Neither field can be understood without the 'global' aspirations that motivate Christianity or the 'violence' that plagues its history and our present."

“This timely volume puts faces to the agents behind violence today. By interrogating Christian imaginaries of persecution, suffering, and martyrdom within increasingly polarizing, globalizing spaces—real or imagined—Global Visions of Violence expertly complexifies the gendered tropes of religious identities and social vulnerabilities within world Christianity.”

Descriere

These chapters illuminate often hidden landscapes that have been shaped by global visions of violence, showing how Christians in Africa, Asia, and Latin America respond to violence as they express their Christian faith.
