The Violence of the Biblical God, Paperback - L. Daniel Hawk

Detalii:

DescriptionHow we can make sense of violence in the Bible?The teachings of the incarnate Jesus sometimes seem to be at odds with the edicts of the God of Israel. Joshua commands Gods people to wipe out everyone in the Promised Land, yet Jesus commands Gods people to love their enemies. How are we to interpret passages on violence when it is sanctioned at one point and condemned at another?The Violence of the Biblical God by L. Daniel Hawk offers a new framework, solidly rooted in the authority of Scripture, for understanding the paradox of Gods participation in violence. Hawk suggests that the historical narrative of the Bible offers multiple canoni-cal pictures for faithful Christian engagement with the violent systems of the world. Reading Scripture as the story of the Creators decision to restore creation by working within and along with humanity, Hawk shows how Christians with diverse perspectives can at once be faithful to the biblical text and partake in a common conversation on violence.About the authorL. Daniel Hawk is professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Ashland Theological Seminary and an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church.
