The Bible’s Evolution of Divine Nonviolence (with Tony Bartlett)

The problem that the Bible names is human violence.

S3:E16 EPISODE SUMMARY

Many think the Bible is a hopelessly violent book.

No doubt the Bible has violence within it, but what if the Bible’s violence is there so that it can subvert and transform violence?

After all, the only way to solve a problem is if we can name it. The problem that the Bible names is human violence. And over its pages, it reveals God’s complete nonviolence.

Listen as Pastor Adam and Tony Bartlett discuss Tony’s latest book Signs of Change: The Bible’s Evolution of Divine Nonviolence.
