September 11, 2001 in New York; March 11, 2004 in Madrid; July 7, 2005 in London: these dates remind us that suicide bombings, or 'martyrdom operations, ' have become the common coin of international politics in the West. What exactly is meant by 'martyrdom' today, whether in Islam or Christianity? Muslim and Christian scholars come together in this volume to find a common understanding, based on the scriptures and traditions of each faith, of martyrdom in today's violent world.
Brian Wicker is Chairman of the Council on Christian Approaches to Defence and Disarmament (CCADD), UK.
