Colleague,

>I would like to announce the
publication of a new academic periodical, the Journal of Religion and Violence (ISSN: 2159-6808). The JRV isan interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of
religion and violence. In addition to publishing analyses of contemporary and
historical religious groups involved in violent incidents, the Journal of Religion and Violence publishes
articles and book reviews on theorists of religious such as René Girard,
sacrifice, terrorism, inter- and intra-religious violence, war and religion,
peace and religion, and religiously-legitimated violence against women.
Academic researchers with interests in these areas are encouraged to submit
articles and book reviews. Please
