Adult Ed, Part 2 of 2: Reexamining the Relationship Between Religion and Violence

Dr. Paul Powers, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Religion, Lewis & Clark College

Part II: Maximalism, Minimalism, and a Way Forward. Maximalists claim that religion causes most violence. Minimalists claim religion cannot be shown to cause violence. Both are mistaken, so we need a new paradigm to think about the relationship of religion and violence.
