Despite the widespread trends of secularisation in the 20th century, religion has played an important role in several outbreaks of genocide since the First World War. And yet, not many scholars have looked either at the religious aspects of modern genocide or at the manner in which religion has taken a position on mass killing. This collection of essays addresses this hiatus by examining the intersection between religion and state-organised murder in the cases of Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan and Bosnian genocides.
