Publisher's Synopsis

Episodes of collective violence have come to us in forms of texts that were designed in such a way as to manipulate the perception and emotional response of a specific audience. Jonathan Stutz shows that, for this reason, early Christian narratives on religious violence have to be read against the background of ancient perceptions of violence and alongside ancient texts that aimed at legitimizing or de-legitimizing the use of physical coercion.
