Description
By now it's commonplace to remark that more violence than good has been committed in the name of religion. The terrorist attacks of September 11 and the continuing Israeli-Palestinian strife confirm this age-old aphorism. Kimball's five warning signs of "bad religion" include making absolute truth claims, a blind obedience to religious authority, millenarian activism, use of oppression or force to protect institutions or reinforce group identity, and warfare in the name of God. Rather than a work of research, this book is an extended essay based on the author's substantial experience in conflict resolution and reconciliation during and after the Iran hostage crisis of 1979. It serves best as a survey of specific recent global incidents of violence connected with religion
