SIMION, Marian G.. The ambivalence of ritual in violence: Orthodox Christian perspectives. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.3, pp.1-8. ISSN 2072-8050. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i3.4526.
This article demonstrates that ritual plays an ambivalent role in the interaction between religion and violence. Ritual triggers and gives meaning to violence, or it enforces peace and coexistence. The first part of the article defines the ambivalence of ritual in the context of violence. The second part surveys standard rituals of peace and violence from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The third part focuses on the ambivalent nature of Orthodox Christian rituals.
