What Does the Bible Say About Violence

By Craig E. Morrison

The Bible is sometimes rejected by people who consider it a violent book. But, in fact, the Bible is very concerned with the problem of violence. It describes how violence originated in our world and in the human heart. The reader will come away with an understanding of the personal tendency toward violence and how the Bible upends it. The reader will also gain an understanding of the historical contexts in which the violent texts of the Bible must be read in order to come to a new understanding of them. Anyone committed to nonviolence will discover in this book how the Bible supports their commitment. The book concludes with a hopeful message: the Bible teaches us how to overcome violence in our society today.
