Does religion shape violence or does violence shape religion? Is John Lennon right, would all wars cease if religion were to vanish? And, finally, what is the theology of conflict? These are topical, real-time, questions – all of which are explored in this episode of GodPod, with the help of Dr Ziya Meral. Ziya is a lecturer in International Studies and Deplomacy at SOAS (School of African and Oriental Studies), researcher and advisor specialising in global conflict and the role of religion.For Ziya’s book: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Violence-Shapes-Religion-Conflict/dp/1108429009/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R4YRLRYAOHE6&amp&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ri97yHWtP85KQNxk0kMIllINtHrud-tAxY09K7OK7oXWzxikPuvxjsdsZ8iSP4mw.i_SWtHHhjzHJGWZcSePluN4YlHmzipGppve0D_LdVzo&amp&dib_tag=se&amp&keywords=ziya+meral&amp&nsdOptOutParam=true&amp&qid=1729787025&amp&sprefix=ziya+meral%2Caps%2C74&amp&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How Violence Shapes Religion: Belief and Conflict in the Middle East and Africa : Meral, Ziya: Amazon.co.uk: Books</a>For more from Seen and Unseen: <a href="https://www.seenandunseen.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seen & Unseen | Seen & Unseen (seenandunseen.com)</a>For more about St Mellitus: <a href="https://stmellitus.ac.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home Page | St Mellitus</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
