Violence in Scripture: Interpretation: Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church - Jerome F. D. Creach

Descriere Violence in Scripture: Interpretation: Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church - Jerome F. D. Creach

\n \nThe Bible frequently depicts God as angry and violent, and also sometimes depicts human violence as positive or even as commanded by God. This forms one of the most vexing problems in approaching Scripture and in interpreting the Bible for preaching and teaching today. In this volume, Creach first examines the theological problems of violence and categorizes the types of violence that appear in scripture. Then, he wrestles with the most important biblical texts on violence to work through specific interpretational issues. This new volume in the Interpretation: Resources for Use of Scripture in the Church series will help preachers and pastors interpret those difficult texts, encouraging them to face violence in the Bible with honesty.\n
