Violence remains endemic in today´s society. Religious morality and social prejudice can lead to many acts of violence going unnoticed. ´Weep Not for Your Children´ presents a selection of essays that examine the ways in which religion and violence interconnect. The presence of violence in the origins of cultural and religious norms is examined. The essays cover a wide range of examples of violence: from the Holocaust to domestic violence and from the violence created by economic systems to that created by the construction of gender itself. ´Weep Not for Your Children´ challenges and provokes the reader to think beyond traditional associations of good and evil.
