As work of art full of imaginatioan and communicator full of message, literary work could be the most appropriate medium for understanding various phenomena in society that is constantly changing. In recent years the world faces a complex problem that could threaten the existence of humanity, the violence in the name of religion. The problem is centered in the Middle East region, which has long since become the arena of conflict of interests. Departing from the assumption that all religions preach peace, love, and humanity, this study wants to find the roots of violent actions that make religion as justification, which the novel as a material object. �Azâzîl, a novel written by Egyptian poet, Youssef Ziedan, brings a new perspective. 'Azâzîl presents the story of violence in the name of religion with the historical context of pre-Islamic times, namely the 5th century, and made the life of Chr istian communities in the Roman (Byzantine) as a core story that allows the study revealed new potentialities that have not been explored previously. Given that the facts of the story in a literary work is a container of something that is universal, then the facts about the characters or setting, for example, rather than merely referring to the social and historical facts, but as a universal fact that can happen to anyone and in anywhere. This study is a library research. To analyze the data, researcher used content analysis method and the method of dialectic. To describe the categories and forms of violence in the name of religion, used the Jamil Salmi�s theory of violence. Meanwhile, to reveal the pattern of the relationship between violence in the name of religion with a condition of social life, politics, and religion in the Midd le East, researcher use the Georg Lukacs�s theory of sociology of literature. Of that process, the study found that repressive violence is the base of all acts of violence in the name of religion, such as murder, expulsion, and revocation of the right to obtain affection. Numerous acts of violence connected with the social context in three patterns: romantic, intellectualist, and ethical. Romantic in the sense that violence is inherent in the social structure. Intellectualistic in the sense that violence offer or require a possible or proposed world which never found in reality. While the ethical is the nature of reciprocity, which a violent act will be followed by another violence, and so on. The chain o f violence may be terminated only by a dialogue to unite various perception in order to build a social system which dr eamed together.
