Holy War, Genocide, and the God of the Bible
A study of the most troubling texts of the Bible, from the conquest of Jericho and the war against Amalek to the imprecatory psalms, and of how Christians have read them. Drawing on the whole Old Testament, including the deuterocanonical books, and on the New Testament and the Fathers, the book asks what these passages reveal about God, about human violence and about the mercy revealed in Christ.
