The Violence of the Biblical God

Book • 2019
This book by L. Daniel Hawk provides a nuanced framework for interpreting violence in the Bible, emphasizing God's involvement in human systems as part of a redemptive process.

Hawk argues that God's actions in the Old Testament are not capricious but rather part of a complex narrative aimed at restoring creation.

The book encourages dialogue among Christians with diverse perspectives on violence and faith.
