Please describe Mark Juergens Meyer’s notion of “cosmic war.” Be sure to cite passages from his work. Then,
select an example of religious violence, or violent religious discourse, from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam,
(one from each) and describe how the notion of cosmic war helps us to understand the ways that the
individuals involved are able, as they see it, to construct meaning from their actions or words. Your example
can be drawn either from something that was discussed in class or in the readings, or from something that we
did not discuss. But, if you are discussing an event not specifically discussed in class or in the readings, be
sure to rely only on assigned material in your analysis of it. That is, avoid un-vetted web-based sources for
providing insight into the interpretation of the event.
