No one can read far in the Hebrew Bible without encountering
depictions of violence carried out by human beings, sometimes in
the name of God, or indeed violence carried out or commanded by
Godfrom Cains murder of Abel to the slaughter of Canaanite
populations and much. For those who read the Bible as sacred
scripture, such depictions can pose tremendous moral and
theological challenges. Eric A. Seibert faces these challenges
head-on, offering perspectives on the roles human and divine
violence play in different parts of the Old Testament, evaluating
the biblical presentation of virtuous violence, and proposing
strategies for reading the Bible out of a commitment to
nonviolence. At last he offers soundings in biblical texts where we
encounter alternative voices, often neglected, that seek and
announce ways of peace.
