{"product_id":"9781139948883","title":"Religion, War, and Ethics: A Sourcebook of Textual Traditions","description":"Religion, War, and Ethics is a collection of primary sources from the world's major religions on the ethics of war. Each chapter brings together annotated texts - scriptural, theological, ethical, and legal - from a variety of historical periods that reflect each tradition's response to perennial questions about the nature of war: when, if ever, is recourse to arms morally justifiable? What moral constraints should apply to military conduct? Can a lasting earthly peace be achieved? Are there sacred reasons for waging war, and special rewards for those who do the fighting? The religions covered include Sunni and Shiite Islam; Judaism; Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant Christianity; Theravada Buddhism; East Asian religious traditions (Confucianism, Shinto, Japanese and Korean Buddhism); Hinduism; and Sikhism. Each section is compiled by a specialist, recognized within his or her respective religious tradition, who has also written a commentary on the historical and textual context of the passages selected.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080148369648,"sku":"9781139948883","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139948883_p0.jpg?v=1763700653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139948883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
