"The best collection of cross-religious scholarship on war yet produced." --Journal of the American Academy of Religion

"Just Wars, Holy Wars, and Jihads is a significant contribution to the study of war and peace in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This is a worthy successor to the groundbreaking work done by James Turner Johnson and John Kelsay on this subject. It is sure to be cited along with their works for years to come. This book balances breadth and depth beautifully with an impressive quality of scholarship. Every serious student of religion and war will be proud to have this in their library." --Mark J. Allman, Faculty Associate at the Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations, Merrimack College

"...[A] major contribution to the comparative study of the ethics of war and peace." --Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
