One of the most problematic elements in the Old Testament are the depiction of violence. The rhetoric can be challenging to read. So what do we do with all the violence? I asked Dr. Lawson Stone to join us and help us contextualize these texts. You will come away from the conversation wondering, "What violence in the Bible?"
Dr. Lawson Stone is a Professor of Old Testament at Asbury Seminary. He specialized in early Israelite history and religion, and he wrote a commentary on the book of Judges, making him an excellent scholar to help us understand stories about violence. How should we read these problematic texts?
