  • Summary

    In this episode, we look at a number of the texts that describe God in the Old Testament as a warrior, and then at many of the texts that suggest that God is uncomfortable being associated with physical violence. We also delve deeply into a few particular texts. We look at the unique quality of the biblical creation story, and what it says about Israel’s God. We examine the gut punch that is the violence and suffering in the book of Lamentations. And we consider what the book of Jonah has to say about the universality of God’s love.

    Notes

    1) Other nations whose destruction God grieves include Tyre (Ezek 27-28), Egypt (Ezek 32:1-16), and Moab (Isa 15:5-6; 16:7-9; Jer 48:30-36).

    2) Our thanks and appreciation to our partners:
