This collection of papers on the roots of just or `holy' war in Western (Christian) and Islamic cultures, along with its companion volume,
Cross, Crescent, and Sword: The Justification and Limitation of War in Western and Islamic Tradition
(Greenwood, 1990), emanated from conferences held at Rutgers University in the winter and spring of 1988-89.

The chapters emphasize the historical and comparative approach to the study of the foundations, justifications, conduct, and aims of war in the two traditions.
