"The best collection of cross-religious scholarship on war yet
produced." --Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"Just Wars, Holy Wars, and Jihads is a significant contribution to
the study of war and peace in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
This is a worthy successor to the groundbreaking work done by James
Turner Johnson and John Kelsay on this subject. It is sure to be
cited along with their works for years to come. This book balances
breadth and depth beautifully with an impressive quality of
scholarship. Every serious student of religion and war will be
proud to have this in their library." --Mark J. Allman, Faculty
Associate at the Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian-Muslim
Relations, Merrimack College
"...[A] major contribution to the comparative study of the ethics
of war and peace." --Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and
