Philip Jenkins delivers a fearless examination of the darkand violent verses of the Bibleand a call for us to read them anew in pursuitof a richer, more honest faith. From one of Americas best scholars ofreligion (The Economist), this daring exploration of the Scripturesmost difficult passages forces us to confront and accept the violence that wasas integral to the formulation of Christianitys message as it was for manyother of the worlds religions, and shows us how a full understanding of theScripture will allow us to finally move towards a more peaceful, spiritualworld. Readers of Bart Ehrmans Gods Problem,John Selby Spongs The Sins of Scripture, andJenkinss own The Jesus Wars, as well as every Christian eager to squarethe recurrent violence of the Scripture with Christianitys enduring message ofpeace, will find these difficult questions explored in full in Laying Downthe Sword.
