Redeeming Violent Verses | Eric A. Seibert

In today's episode, we’re diving into one of the most challenging topics in biblical interpretation: how to approach the Bible's violent texts in a way that is faithful, thoughtful, and pastoral. I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Eric Seibert, a renowned scholar, author, and professor, formerly at Messiah University, whose work has been instrumental in helping Christians wrestle with difficult passages in Scripture. 

In his new book, "Redeeming Violent Verses: A Guide for Using Troublesome Texts in Church and Ministry," Eric equips pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday readers with tools to interpret these texts responsibly, making sense of their historical and theological contexts while addressing real-world questions of faith, justice, and morality. 

Dr. Eric A. Seibert is a writer, speaker, pastor and until recently a Professor of Old Testament at Messiah University. He enjoys helping people deal with problematic portrayals of God in the Old Testament and is the author Disturbing Divine Behavior: Troubling Old Testament Images of God, and most recently, "Redeeming Violent Verses: A Guide for Using Troublesome Texts in Church and Ministry,"
