The Bible is the most widely read and translated book in the world, and its influence is immeasurable. Nonetheless, according to Gerd Ludemann, its use by Christians is highly selective. Ludemann asks, what about those parts of the Bible that contain God's command to exterminate entire peoples or those texts which demonize other faiths? He focuses first on the practice of Holy War and then on the anti-Judaism of New Testament writings. He also tackles the question of how, given this destructive side of Scripture, we can continue to be Christians. In response, he points to the person of Jesus and his example. 220.60664257399 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 220.6 Lud u E09000816 Non Fiction 220.6 Lud u E08002752 Non Fiction 220.6 Lud u-2 01201901211 Non Fiction 220.6 Lud u-3 1a.jpg 50479 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-12-02 18:44:39 machine generated
