In this episode, Dr. Jesse Nickel discusses his latest book, A Revolutionary Jesus: Violence and Peacemaking in the Kingdom of God, which examines Jesus's perspective on violence and its implications for his followers. We explore how Jesus's teachings and actions present a vision of God's reign defined by peace, contrasting with the eschatological violence prevalent in Second Temple Jewish expectations. Jesse also shares insights into how this understanding challenges contemporary Christian praxis and the church's role in peacemaking today.
