The Bible is no children's book.
Show Notes
If you've spent much time reading the Bible, you know that it is no children's book. What are we supposed to do with Scriptural texts that describe terrible acts of violence--sometimes even commanded by God? Dr. Brian Doak offers a few possible ways to deal with this reality while holding fast to the Christian assurance that violence was not part of God's plan for the world.
Dr. Brian Doak is a professor of Biblical Studies with teaching and research interest in the Hebrew Bible & language, and he also serves as vice president of George Fox Digital, GFU's primary center for digital education and innovation.
