Conflict, war, and violence are common in the world today. Many people think religion and scripture fan the flames. But are they right?

The Scripture & Violence Project aims to equip people to grapple with scriptures that seem to condone or encourage violence – from their own tradition or other traditions – and to respond to concerns in wider society about these scriptures and the religious traditions that consider them sacred. The project focuses on Christian, Muslim, and Jewish traditions, seeking to undo common prejudices and misunderstandings.
