About this ebook
Religious Persecutions explores the pervasive history of religiously motivated intolerance and violence, examining its lasting impact on societies across the globe. The book argues that religious persecution is not solely rooted in religious differences but is significantly intertwined with socio-political power struggles. Intriguingly, religious conviction, intended to unite and give meaning, has paradoxically often become a catalyst for division. From the Roman Empireâs treatment of early Christians to the Spanish Inquisition, the study contextualizes these events within their historical, social, and political circumstances. The book provides a detailed examination of specific historical instances, offering a synthesis of historical accounts, sociological analyses, and theological perspectives. It posits that understanding the dynamics of power is essential for preventing future atrocities. Beginning with core concepts and a theoretical framework, Religious Persecutions progresses through detailed case studies, each chapter focusing on a different period or region, culminating in an analysis of recurring patterns and implications for contemporary society.
