During the annual convention of the American Academy of Religion from November 23-26 in Baltimore, Professor of Religious Studies Carl Olson presented a paper titled “Violence, Power, the Demonic, and Indian Asceticism” for a panel on Religion and Violence. His essay “The Sacred Book” (pp. 19-38) was republished in “The Book: A Global History” (2013), edited by Michael Suarez, S.J., and H. R. Woudhuysen and published by Oxford University Press. This is a condensed version of a two-volume boxed set originally published in 2010.
