Book Synopsis God of Violence Yesterday, God of Love Today? by : Helen Paynter
Book excerpt: Do you find the violence in the Old Testament a problem? Does it get in the way of reading the Bible--and of faith itself? While acknowledging that there are no easy answers, in God of Violence Yesterday, God of Love Today?, Helen Paynter faces the tough questions head-on and offers a fresh, accessible approach to a significant issue. For all those seeking to engage with the Bible and gain confidence in the God it portrays, she provides tools for reading and interpreting biblical texts, and points to ways of dealing with the overall trajectories of violence.
