The myth of religious violence

by William T. Cavanaugh

Cet essai lie analyse sociologique et théologie politique pour déconstruire l'idée qui consiste à faire de la religion la source de la violence sacrée. L'auteur, théologien catholique et laïc, développe l'idée que l'Etat moderne a récupéré à son seul profit la sacralité et exige de ses citoyens une loyauté qui conduit à la guerre.
