Description for Jesus and the Subversion of Violence
Paperback. An honest and compelling presentation of the present-day tensions surrounding the interpretation of New Testament texts relating to violence. While violence may not be as central a concern to the writers of the New Testament as is peace, it opens up avenues of analysis and reflection that shed important light on the New Testament. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: HRCG. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 217 x 141 x 15. Weight in Grams: 264.
Asking about violence rather than peace is to come at the New Testament with a specific set of concerns growing out of a public discourse that has raised the issues of violence to new levels of urgency. While violence may not be as central a concern to the writers of the New Testament as is peace, it opens up avenues of analysis and reflection that shed important light on the New Testament. For many readers these may be unaccustomed and even troubling.
