Firstly, it is a manifestation of the unrestrained and escalating state of desire and rivalry in modernity, which militant jihadists seek to counter with extreme violence. Secondly, it is a response to the unveiling and discrediting of sacred violence, which militant jihadists seek to reverse by more purposefully valorising sacred violence in what they believe to be jihad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRelevant to anyone interested in Islam, philosophy of religion, theology, and terrorism, \u003ci\u003eViolence in the Name of God\u003c\/i\u003e imagines new ways of thinking about militancy in the name of Islam in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Hodge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350273112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350273115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Joel Hodge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944788230399,"sku":"9781350273115","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_59e7ceae-9767-4065-98c3-cdb98cccd137.jpg?v=1681505100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-in-the-name-of-joel-hodge-9781350273115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
