John Dominic Crossan, Derek Perkins (Narrator), "How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian: Struggling with Divine Violence from Genesis Through Revelation"
Many portions of the New Testament introduce a compassionate Jesus who turns the other cheek, loves his enemies, and shows grace to all. But the Jesus we find in Revelation and some portions of the Gospels leads an army of angels bent on earthly destruction. Which is the true revelation of the Messiah - and how can both be in the same Bible?
How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian explores this question and offers guidance for the faithful conflicted over which version of the Lord to worship. John Dominic Crossan reconciles these contrasting views, revealing how different writers of the books of the Bible not only possessed different visions of God, but also different purposes for writing. Often these books are explicitly competing against another, opposing vision of God from the Bible itself.
