Religion, Empire, and Torture: The Case of Achaemenian Persia, with a Postscript on Abu Ghraib
Bruce Lincoln
Identifying the three core components of an imperial theology that have transhistorical and contemporary relevance: dualistic ethics, a theory of divine election, and a sense of salvific mission, the author shows how these religious ideas shaped Achaemenian practice and brought the Persians unprecedented wealth, power, and territory, and more.
