NEW YORK—July 19, 2016—Morgan James’s new release, Few Call it War: Religious Terrorism: Then and Now by Robert Michael Hicks, analyzes the religions of the world and how violence has influenced their history.
In this d
ay and age, readers have seen an overwhelming stream of religiously motivated terror attacks. From the devastating effects of 9/11, to several small shootings and bombings, they have seen endless acts of violence. In all of these instances, the perpetrators have declared that these extreme acts were justified by religion. It engages the provoking question: “How can any religion dedicated to love condone such violent behavior?”
In Few Call it War, Robert Hicks goes deep into the history of these religions to find the truth. In the case of ISIS, Hicks recognizes that blinders have caused the administration to be slow to the truth. These religious terrorists are nothing the world hasn’t seen before. In the history of religion, there has always been an outpouring of violence. Throughout the years, the world has forgotten and masked the roots of religion by an “explosion of ancient religious ideologies.” Hicks is here to show how these ancient ideas and texts are perfect for gaining these religions plenty of new converts, regardless of their history.
Many don’t understand how violence and religion can go hand in hand. Unlike other religious investigative books, Few Call it War dispels all moral equivalence arguments. Instead, with detailed research, Hicks answers much needed questions about the religions of the world and the violence of their history. Avid readers and scholars alike will benefit from reading this book.
