جنگ مقدس: خشونت و باگود گیتا (سری میراث هندی)

This series of scholarly essays explores modern parallels to the war depicted in the ancient Indian story Bhagavad Gita, using it as a starting point to discuss whether violence in the name of religious observance can ever be justifiable. Rosen (the author of several books on East-Indian spirituality) edits essays covering Gandhi and nonviolence; abuse of ethics and morals to justify religious violence; and the Islamic jihad in relation to the war of the Bhagavad Gita. Scholars from varied fields and religious backgrounds write the essays. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Introduction / Steven J.
