Sharon L. Baker Putt, "A Nonviolent Theology of Love: Peacefully Confessing the Apostles Creed"
English | ISBN: 1506424937 | 2021 | 325 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The impetus behind the ease with which the church has periodically justified violent behavior lies in its conceptual image of God as a violent deity. This book emerges out of a passion to think differently-albeit biblically-about the character of God and articulates a theological construction of a nonviolent God-an alternative to any image of God that seems to condone human violence. It calls the church to rethink theology as something other than what might be termed "redemptive violence" and encourages Christians to reinterpret Scripture and traditional theological beliefs in ways that are more faithful to the God disclosed in Jesus of Nazareth.
