Holy Scriptures as justifications for war : fundamentalist interpretations of the Torah, the New Testament, and the Qur'an /

This study explores in literalism and inerrancy as the interpretive basis of some Jewish, Christian and Muslim justifications of acts of violence. In the end, an argument is made, on historical, scriptural, moral and theological grounds, rejecting Holy War as a perversion of God's creation.
