God and Violence Biblical Resources for Living in a Small World

"From the medieval crusades to the latest violence in the Middle East, warriors have long claimed the Bible's support for their battles. Patricia McDonald argues that many biblical stories, read as part of a canon from Genesis to Revelation, contain resources for turning violence to service of God and humanity. As varied and complex as life itself, these narratives can provide us with imaginative possibilities and steady motivation to move beyond the narrow defensiveness and self-interest that are becoming ever more problematic in an increasingly interconnected world."McDonald, Patricia M. is the author of 'God and Violence Biblical Resources for Living in a Small World' with ISBN 9780836192698 and ISBN 0836192699.
