Violence in Scripture (Interpretation: Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church)
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
The Bible frequently depicts God as angry and violent, and sometimes depicts human violence as positive or even as commanded by God. This forms one of the most vexing problems in approaching Scripture and interpreting the Bible for preaching and teaching today. In this volume, Jerome Creach first examines the theological problems of violence and categorizes the types of violence that appear in Scripture. He then wrestles with the most important biblical texts on violence in order to work through specific interpretational issues. This volume in the Interpretation: Resources for Use of Scripture in the Church series will help preachers and pastors interpret these difficult texts, encouraging them to face violence in the Bible with honesty.
