Religious violence is a category for books that examine how religious beliefs, institutions, narratives, or identities intersect with coercion, conflict, and harm. It includes historical and contemporary case studies across traditions and regions—such as persecution, sectarian strife, terrorism framed in religious terms, communal riots, crusades and jihads, ritualized violence, and state policies justified by faith—alongside their social, political, and theological contexts. Works in this category range from academic analyses to narrative nonfiction and memoir, drawing on history, sociology, anthropology, theology, and political science to explore causes, rhetoric, recruitment, ethics, and community impact. Many titles also address prevention and response, including peacebuilding, reconciliation, deradicalization, and the roles of religious leaders and interfaith initiatives in mitigating violence.
