Before exploring what the Bible says about violence, Old Testament scholar Helen Paynter sets out the contours for the study ahead by addressing the various definitions of violence and the theories of its origins, prevalence, and purpose. *What is violence? Is there such a thing as \"natural violence\"? Is violence a human or social construct or can we describe natural phenomena as violent? How does the concept of violence relate to the concept of evil?* *Violence is everywhere; is it escapable?* *How do we resist violence?*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Having queued up the questions, Helen takes us to the Bible for answers. Starting with the creation narratives in Genesis considered in comparison with the ancient Near Eastern myths and moving to the conquest of Canaan--the most problematic of biblical narratives--she investigates how these deep myths speak to the origins of human violence and its consequences. The prevalence of violence through biblical history is inescapable. Scripture reveals the hydra-like nature of human violence, investigating types of violence including but not limited to: structural violence, verbal violence, sexual violence, violence as public \/political act, racialised violence, including \"othering.\" Through the voices of the prophets and then in the teaching of Jesus, the Bible reveals that the seeds of violence exist within every human heart. Even though we see evidence of resistance movements in the Bible, such as the responses to attempted genocide in Exodus and Esther, it is only on the cross that an absorption of violence by God takes place: a defeat of violence by self-sacrifice. Along the way, Helen considers other relevant biblical themes, including the apocalypse, \"crushing the serpent's head,\" and the concept of divine vengeance, culminating in the resurrected Christ's lack of vengeance against those who did him to death. In light of the New Testament, we will consider how the first Christians responded to the structural violence of slavery and patriarchy and how they began to apply Jesus' redemptive, non-vengeful theology to their own day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book concludes by discussing of what this means for Christians today. For many of us who live without routine encounters with or threats of violence, we must consider our responsibility in a world where our experience is the exception. With attention to the multi-headed hydra that is violence and the concealed structures of violence in our own Western society, Helen challenges readers to consider their own, perhaps inherited, privilege and complicity. The question of how we regard \"others,\" both as individuals and as societies, is a deeply relevant and urgent one for the church: The church can and should be a wholly non-othering body. *So what implications does this have for the church and, for example, Black Lives Matter or the rampant xenophobia in our society or immigration and global migration issues? How do we resist evil? What does it mean to turn the other cheek when the cheek that has been slapped is not our own?* *How do we resist the monster without becoming the monster?*","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561395618079,"sku":"9780310125549","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780310125549_0.jpg?v=1769134553"},{"product_id":"biblical-critical-theory-how-the-bibles-unfolding-story-makes-sense-of-modern-life-and-culture-613939","title":"Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture","description":"**\\*2023 Australian Christian Book of the Year Winner\\***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**\\*With a foreword from Tim Keller\\***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**A bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn _Biblical Critical Theory_, Christopher Watkin shows how the Bible and its unfolding story help us make sense of modern life and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical theories exist to critique what we think we know about reality and the social, political, and cultural structures in which we live.

They are not. Christopher Watkin has done something remarkable. He has given thoughtful believers and doubters a whirlwind tour of both the biblical narrative and the myriad ways that narrative critiques, commends, and completes the best thoughts of thinkers from Plato to Popper. Watkin is a thoroughly reliable guide to complex biblical material, whether the patriarchal narratives, eighth-century prophets, or apocalyptic literature. And when he steps onto the field of his main expertise— modern intellectual history— he truly shines. He does not attempt to dazzle us with his intimate knowledge of often-impenetrable thinkers like Heidegger, Marx, and Foucault. Instead, he shows why such figures deserve their place among the greats, how their ideas continue to influence contemporary life, and why they are wrong when they are wrong, only because they preserve a half-truth that is found complete in the Bible. This book is a magnificent achievement. It is a must-read for Christian leaders wanting to think biblically about our de-Christianizing world.

A proper understanding of biblical theology, explains the author, \"shows us an inner centre of plan to which each biblical writer consciously and deliberately contributed; however, this inner biblical unity, which biblical theologians traditionally have been loathe to adopt for fear of gratuitously imposing a grid of their own devising over the text, is a centre that is inductively supplied and confirmed by the text of Scripture itself. That centre is the promise of God.\" This book is a complete revision of Walter Kaiser's Toward an Old Testament Theology. Extending the discussion into the New Testament, Dr. Kaiser now offers a biblical theology of Old and New Testaments.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn Part I of his book, Dr. Kaiser discusses the inherent difficulty in determining the true nature, method, scope, and motivation for Old Testament theology. In Part II, he applies his solutions clearly and methodically by chronologically discussing the Old Testament eras from the Pre-patriarchical (Prolegomena to the Promise) to that of the Post-exillic (Triumph of the Promise). In Part III, Dr. Kaiser now explores the central theme of the promise of God in the New Testament story. A special section examines the connections between Old and New Testament theology. \"This textbook is different,\" says Dr. Kaiser, \"in that it takes the Bible's own system of organization as the solution to the very issues that have perplexed us the most, while also strictly observing the historical sequence of divine revelation.\"  \u003cbr\u003e***-Publisher.***  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the central theme of the Bible? Given the diversity of authorship, genre, and context of the Bible's various books, is it even possible to answer such a question? Or in trying to do so, is an external grid being unnaturally superimposed on the biblical text? These are difficult questions that the discipline of biblical theology has struggled to answer. In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of his classic Toward an Old Testament Theology, Walter Kaiser offers a solution to these unresolved issues. He proposes that there is indeed a unifying center to the theology and message of the Bible that is indicated and affirmed by Scripture itself. That center is the promise of God. It is one all-encompassing promise of life through the Messiah that winds itself throughout salvation history in both the Old and New Testaments, giving cohesiveness and unity to the various parts of Scripture. After laying out his proposal, Kaiser works chronologically through the books of both testaments, demonstrating how the promise is seen throughout, how the various sub-themes of each book relate to the promise, and how God's plan to fulfill the promise progressively unfolds. Here is a rich and illuminating biblical theology that will stir the emotion and the intellect.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561682632991,"sku":"9780310275862","price":69.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780310275862_125323.jpg?v=1769138730"},{"product_id":"christians-in-an-age-of-wealth-a-biblical-theology-of-stewardship-biblical-theology-for-life-series-371527","title":"Christians in An Age of Wealth: A Biblical Theology of Stewardship (Biblical Theology For Life Series)","description":"Biblical scholar Craig Blomberg surveys relevant passages from both the Old and New Testaments on the subject of possessions, the place and purpose of wealth, and the Christian way to demonstrate the gospel through our approach to material blessings.

Christians must be aware of and safeguard against the dangers that abusing material wealth can produce. Blomberg explains the biblical teaching that when we give away generous and sacrificial amounts to those in need, we participate in God's original good design for abundance and demonstrate the active love of Christ.

They had a one in three chance of dying before their first birthday, with as many as half dying before age ten. Christian writers accordingly sought to speak to the experience of bereavement and to provide cultural scripts for parents who had lost a child. These late ancient writers turned to characters like Eve and Sarah, Job and Jephthah as models for grieving and for confronting or submitting to the divine. Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah's Son traces the stories these writers crafted and the ways in which they shaped the lived experience of familial bereavement in ancient Christianity. A compelling social history that conveys the emotional lives of people in the late ancient world, Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah's Son is a powerful portrait of mourning that extends beyond antiquity to the present day.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562839736607,"sku":"9780520304154","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780520304154_1471196.jpg?v=1769157829"},{"product_id":"the-theology-of-the-letter-of-james-peter-and-jude-cambridge-new-testament-theology-series-78720","title":"The Theology of the Letter of James, Peter and Jude (Cambridge New Testament Theology Series)","description":"The letters of James, 1 and 2 Peter, and Jude are among the most neglected parts of the New Testament, for they lack the immediacy and specificity of the Pauline letters.

At the same time this topical arrangement serves the purpose of a systematic theology, so that the reader can discover what Hebrews has to say on such subjects as christology, the atoning death of Jesus, the new covenant, the Holy Spirit, and the use of the Old Testament. Special attention is paid to the rhetorical power of the Epistle, which is seen to mark it out as a work of great persuasive power, written in response to an urgent practical situation.

Moody Smith treats the theology of the Gospel of John in its narrative form and historical context, both ancient Jewish and early Christian. His work draws upon the most recent scholarly investigations of the Gospel's historical purpose and setting. The major theological themes of the Gospel, especially its christology, are treated in relation to the context of the work, since Johannine theology is not simply a by-product of controversies that produced the Gospel, but is rather related to them in significant ways. As Professor Smith shows, John marks an important watershed between Christianity and Judaism. His study will thus serve equally well as an introduction to the question of the origin of John and as an introduction to its theology.

This book allows the Epistles to speak for themselves, and shows that they sound a distinctive note within Johannine theology, in particular, and the thought of the New Testament, in general. Dr Lieu carefully outlines their most important theological themes (comprising, for example, tensions-in-unity between confidence and imperative, individual and community, and faith and tradition) which - when understood in their original setting - are seen to have rich potential for the continuing theology of the Church.

Paul's complex theological legacy is not a systematic theology or even the basis for constructing a theological system. However, we come close to the heart of Paul's legacy in his clear-sighted identification of the gospel with the saving power of God's love as disclosed in Christ, and his insistence that those who are called to belong to Christ are thereby summoned to be agents of God's love wherever in the world they have received that call.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562848715039,"sku":"9780521358071","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780521358071_1104474.jpg?v=1769158111"},{"product_id":"the-theology-of-the-second-letter-to-the-corinthians-cambridge-new-testament-theology-series-140204","title":"The Theology of the Second Letter to the Corinthians (Cambridge New Testament Theology Series)","description":"The Second Letter to the Corinthians is one of Paul's most intriguing epistles.

In the second, he reacts angrily against an unexpected further deterioration of the situation at Corinth. The resonances in the dialogue between Paul and the parties in question cannot be detected easily without some awareness on the reader's part of the social, religious, and economic situation of the Christian community to which Paul was writing. The aim of this book is to integrate such background information into a flowing exposition of the apostle's thought, and thus to bring Paul's theology to life by highlighting the complex interplay of factors which prompted him to write in the way he did.;Father Murphy-O'Connor is an experienced New Testament scholar, and his lucid survey - while providing an accessible introduction to the epistle and its central concerns - brings new insights into the relation of Christ to the ministry of the church.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562848813343,"sku":"9780521358989","price":92.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780521358989_725790.jpg?v=1769158115"},{"product_id":"the-theology-of-pauls-letter-to-the-galatians-cambridge-new-testament-theology-series-66226","title":"The Theology of Paul's Letter to the Galatians (Cambridge New Testament Theology Series)","description":"Paul's Letter to the Galatians is one of the fiercest and most polemical writings in the Bible.

In the pages of Galatians we witness fundamental features of Christian theology taking shape before our eyes, where the living heart of Paul's gospel is encountered. For James D. G. Dunn there is an elemental quality about the letter, to which those tired of compromising half-truths are drawn when they feel the impulse to return to first principles.

Aptly synthesizing classic and recent scholarship while asserting his own theological findings, Mead provides an excellent overview of the history of biblical theology and a thorough examination of its basic issues, methods, and themes.*????\"Throughout the bewilderingly vast landscape of scholarship on two testaments, James Mead proves himself a most perceptive analyst, a consummate teacher, and a trustworthy guide.\"*  \u003cbr\u003eBrent A.
