| Resumo: | This review article examines Antonio Rubial’s La justicia de Dios to analyze how religious and symbolic violence, rooted in the very old dichotomy of good and bad, is still present within contemporary political discourse. The work studies how Christianity has justified war throughout history, from the Crusades and antisemitism to the very concept of the martyr. The methodology used for this study is a critical and comparative analysis of Rubial’s ideas against current events and contemporary rhetorical theory, such as George W. Bush’s Axis of Evil or the Israel-Palestine conflict. Therefore, this article highlights how these ancient cultural typologies continue to shape our perspectives and current events.
