From the medieval crusades to the latest violence in the Middle East, warriors have long claimed the Bible's support for their battles. This book argues that many biblical stories contain resources for turning violence to service of God and humanity. These narratives can provide us with imaginative possibilities to move beyond the narrow defensiveness and self-interest that are becoming more problematic in an increasingly interconnected world.
