The Role of Violence in the Bible
Not every ethical law is on this kind of trajectory. We see adultery has no trajectory. It's just kind of wrong all the time. Or we might even see trajectories moving in the other direction, not from prohibition to permission, but from permission to prohibition. And one of my main reasons for that, biblically, is that I think violence in the Bible is on one of these trajectories. So this is a very valid, hermeneutical exploration to make towards really any command.
