Over the centuries many have been troubled by the unfolding massacre and the absence of moral restraint, especially as it is featured in a book of sacred scripture. This seminar will contextualize the violence, interpret its symbolic and reparative significance and, ultimately, reclaim the moral high ground.\n\nDONATE: bit.ly/1NmpbsP\nLEARNING MATERIALS: https://bit.ly/2vEHhUD\n\nFor more info, please visit:
