Riassunto

In September 2008, Mercer University, Evangelicals for Human Rights, and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture held a national summit on torture. The election soon after of a president who immediately called for a halt to US torture did not do away with the issues and the controversies addressed by the 15 papers, sermons and reflections, and insights from the next generation. They discuss the road to Abu Ghraib, how the US military responded to the drift toward torture, what torture does to human beings, what the torture debate reveals about American Christianity, an assessment of and reflection on Guantánamo from people who have been there, sacred bodies and inspirited flesh, imagine the sojourner, tortured truth, the religious roots of human rights, healing the American Christian relationship with the Muslim world, violence finds refuge in falsehood, religious torture in the war on terror, the dark knight of the American soul, a theological reflection on CIA black sites, and national security and a practical way forward. Responses follow most of the offerings. There is no index. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
