paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Nice book with light wear.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This brilliantly accessible and engaging book canvasses one of the heaviest themes in the Bible, examining portrayals of violence in its many forms. Unlike so many accessible Bible studies, Violence & the Bible for Normal People resists the temptation to provide "neat and tidy" theological solutions to some of the most challenging texts in the Bible, instead naming them for what they are and examining their ongoing legacies. Weaving her love of true crime and old-school murder mysteries with her extensive expertise, biblical scholar Caroline Blyth has written a book that is both profoundly honest and engaging-that honors the weighty legacies of these texts, but resists being weighed down by them. If you struggle with biblical portrayals of violence-human and divine-this book is for you. If you have ever seethed in church as violence was described as adultery, this book is for you. If you are seeking a trustworthy guide through the Bible's texts of terror, this book is for you. Join Caroline Blyth as she illuminates some of the darkest biblical narratives and gently examines the questions they raise, both for their authors and their readers today.…
