Dark Narratives in Scripture

This chapter critically examines the troubling narratives within the Christian Bible that endorse sexual violence and depict the mistreatment of women. It questions traditional interpretations of stories like that of Lot, the directives given to Moses, and the brutal conquests in the book of Joshua, highlighting the complex and often disturbing implications of divine justice. The speakers challenge romanticized views of scripture by exposing harsh biblical laws and the systemic abuse reflected in these narratives.
