Description
Laying Down the Sword: Why We Can't Ignore the Bible's Violent Verses
Philip Jenkins delivers a fearless examination of the dark and violent verses of the Bible, and a call for us to read them anew in pursuit of a richer, more honest faith. He forces us to confront and accept the violence that was integral to the formulation of Christianity's message, and shows us how a full understanding of the Scripture can help us move towards a more peaceful, spiritual world.
For those seeking to square the recurrent violence of the Bible with Christianity's enduring message of peace, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the difficult questions at the heart of the faith.
