Vocation and Violence : The Church and #MeToo
As #MeToo and its sister movement #ChurchToo demonstrated, sexual violence is systemic in many and varied workplace settings, including Christian churches, and can destroy women’s careers and vocational aspirations. The study draws on empirical evidence – personal stories from survivors and the views of church leaders and educators – in dialogue with theoretical perspectives, to consider clergy sexual abuse of adult women and the conditions that support it.Institutional abuse only changes when survivors come forward.This study focusses on New Zealand Anglicanism, the locus of the author’s experience, and has resonance for a range of denominational settings.It aims to be a useful resource to clergy, ministry educators, and those training for ministry, and to academics and scholars with an interest in theology, gender, and professional ethics.Notably, it will be a potentially helpful text for women survivors of sexual misconduct by clergy, not least those who are considering a future in the church or grieving the loss of one. The volume concludes by suggesting that alternative theological models and relational ethics are essential if the church is to truly address the problem of clergy sexual abuse and give greater priority to the abused.

Religion, Extremism and Violence in South Asia
This book sheds light on religiously motivated extremism and violence in South Asia, a phenomenon which ostensibly poses critical and unique challenges to the peace, security and governance not only of the region, but also of the world at large.The book is distinctive in-so-far as it reexamines conventional wisdom held about religious extremism in South Asia and departs from the literature which centres its analyses on Islamic militancy based on the questions and assumptions of the West’s ‘war on terror’.This volume also offers a comprehensive analysis of new extremist movements and how their emergence and success places existing theoretical frameworks in the study of religious extremism into question.It further examines topical issues including the study of social media and its impact on the evolution and operation of violent extremism.The book also analyses grassroots and innovative non-state initiatives aimed to counter extremist ideologies.Through case studies focusing on Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, this collection examines extremist materials, methods of political mobilisation and recruitment processes and maps the interconnected nature of sociological change with the ideological transformations of extremist movements.

How do violence and religion fit together?
Violence and religion can be intertwined in various ways.

On the other hand, many religions also preach peace, compassion, and forgiveness, aiming to promote harmony and non-violence among their followers. It is important to recognize that violence is a complex issue influenced by a variety of factors, including social, political, and economic conditions, and cannot be solely attributed to religion.

How do religion and violence fit together?
Religion and violence can be interconnected in various ways. Some individuals or groups may use religious beliefs to justify or incite violence, leading to conflicts and acts of aggression. Additionally, historical and contemporary examples show that religious differences have been a contributing factor to violent conflicts and wars. However, it is important to note that the majority of religious teachings promote peace, compassion, and non-violence, and that violent interpretations of religious texts are often a result of political, social, or economic factors rather than the religion itself.

Catholic Discordance : Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis
2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention Pope Francis2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention in English translation editionOne element of the church that Pope Francis was elected to lead in 2013 was an ideology that might be called the “American” model of Catholicism—the troubling result of efforts by intellectuals like Michael Novak, George Weigel, and Richard John Neuhaus to remake Catholicism into both a culture war colossus and a prop for ascendant capitalism. After laying the groundwork during the 1980s and armed with a selective and manipulative reading of Pope John Paul II’s 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus, these neoconservative commentators established themselves as authoritative Catholic voices throughout the 1990s, viewing every question through a liberal-conservative ecclesial-political lens.The movement morphed further after the 9/11 terror attacks into a startling amalgamation of theocratic convictions, which led to the troubling theo-populism we see today. The election of the Latin American pope represented a mortal threat to all of this, and a poisonous backlash was inevitable, bringing us to the brink of a true “American schism.” This is the drama of today’s Catholic Church.In Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis, Massimo Borghesi—who masterfully unveiled the pope’s own intellectual development in his The Mind of Pope Francis—analyzes the origins of today’s Catholic neoconservative movement and its clash with the church that Francis understands as a “field hospital” for a fragmented world.

Fields of Blood : Religion and the History of Violence
It is the most persistent myth of our time: religion is the cause of all violence.But history suggests otherwise. Karen Armstrong, former Roman Catholic nun and one of our foremost scholars of religion, speaks out to disprove the link between religion and bloodshed. * Religion is as old as humanity: Fields of Blood goes back to the Stone Age hunter-gatherers and traces religion through the centuries, from medieval crusaders to modern-day jihadists. * The West today has a warped concept of religion: we regard faith as a personal and private matter, but for most of history faith has informed people’s entire outlook on life, and often been inseparable from politics. * Humans undoubtedly have a natural propensity for aggression: the founders of the largest religions – Jesus, Buddha, the rabbis of early Judaism, the prophet Muhammad – aimed to curb violence and build a more peaceful and just society, but with our growing greed for money and wealth came collective violence and warfare. * With the arrival of the modern all-powerful, secular state humanity’s destructive potential has begun to spiral out of control. Is humanity on the brink of destroying itself?Fields of Blood is a celebration of the ancient religious ideas and movements that have promoted peace and reconciliation across millennia of civilization.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal beliefs or perceptions. However, it is important to recognize that Islam, like any other major religion, is diverse and has a wide range of interpretations and practices. While there have been instances of violence carried out in the name of Islam, it is not accurate or fair to characterize the entire religion as aggressively inclined or inherently violent. It is important to approach the topic with an open mind and seek to understand the complexities and nuances of Islam and its followers.
