Over the centuries, New Testament texts have inspired both peace
activism and violence towards others. Most Christians, including
New Testament scholars, continue to find peace at the core of these
scriptures, and consider that the use of violence misrepresents
basic Christian beliefs. This challenging study contends that the
New Testament promotes violence as strongly as it promotes peace.
Through close analysis of a wide range of texts, Desjardins shows
how foundational both peace and violence are in the New Testament,
and then suggests that the leading interpretative theories in this
area do not do justice to the complexity of the primary sources.
