Abstract
Review of, "Subverting Hatred: The Challenge of Nonviolence in Religious Traditions", by Daniel L.Smith-Christopher (ed): "While religion may not be the spark that ignited any of these destructive fires, the presence of religious partisanship, intolerance, and fervor may certainly fan the flames. The European wars of religion of the 17th century led Enlightenment intellectuals to advocate a more humanist and cosmopolitan worldview in hopes of avoiding such faith-inspired bloodshed in the future ... Subverting Hatred does not promise more than it can deliver. Its significance is wisely not premised on the notion that religion on its own can solve the perennial problem of warfare, just as one cannot blame religion on its own for creating the problem."
