Most studies on violence in the Hebrew Bible focus on the question
of how modern readers should approach the problem. But they fail to
ask how the Hebrew Bible thinks about that problem in the first
place. In this work, Matthew J. Lynch examines four key ways that
writers of the Hebrew Bible conceptualize and critique acts of
violence: violence as an ecological problem; violence as a moral
problem; violence as a judicial problem; violence as a purity
problem. These four 'grammars of violence' help us interpret
crucial biblical texts where violence plays a lead role, like
Genesis 4-9. Lynch's volume also offers readers ways to examine
cultural continuity and the distinctiveness of biblical conceptions
of violence.
