Listen "Blessed are the Peacemakers"
Episode Synopsis
This is Part 2 of a conversation with Rev. Dr. Helen Paynter about her new book titled: Blessed are the Peacemakers: A Biblical Theology of Human Violence. Today we discuss what to do when it seems like God is calling his people to violence, or what happens when the Israelites are violent with one another. How does the Bible give voice to those who suffer from violent attacks? And for those who study violence, where do they find a type of hope that can sustain them and their work?Find out more about Dr. Paynter HERESome of the resources and links mentioned on this episode:https://www.facebook.com/CSBVBristolBaptistCollege/Twitter @CSBibleViolenceYoutube https://www.youtube.com/@CSBibleViolencehttps://www.amazon.com/Bible-Doesnt-Tell-Me-So/dp/0857469894https://www.amazon.com/Cursing-God-Imprecatory-Psalms-Christian/dp/1481316362https://www.amazon.com/Bloody-Brutal-Barbaric-Wrestling-Troubling/dp/0830852492Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Learn more about me and sign up for upcoming tours of Israel/Palestine.Join Cyndi Parker's Patreon Team!
