Violent Deaths in the Bible: Eighteen Shocking Tales of Judgment and Redemption

Description: Violent Deaths in the Bible by Jonah Haddad Irreverent and profane content litters the pages of Scripture. Stories of stabbing, beheading, dismemberment, defenestration, trampling, burning, and mauling are commonplace. The violence of the Bible cant be ignored. It cant be swept under the rug. But every violent story adorning the pages of Scripture is there for a reason. Each shocking tale of judgment and redemption teaches us something about the nature of God and humans. If were willing to go where our Sunday school picture Bibles refuse to go, we might be rewarded. The R-rated stuff might prove instructive. Violent Deaths in the Bible promises to offend and disrupt, even as it guides us to the most meaningful death of all--the death of Jesus on the cross. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Jonah Haddad serves as an associate pastor in Colorado.

Review "Jonah Haddad is both a careful student of Scripture and a fine writer. In this original and insightful book, he takes some of the grizzliest passages of Scripture and explains their meaning and application. I know of no other study like it, and it will repay a careful and meditative reading." --Douglas Groothuis, distinguished university research professor of apologetics and Christian worldview, Cornerstone University "Jonah Haddad brings a fresh perspective on a theme throughout the Bible that many times is ignored by Bible teachers: extreme violence in our broken world. God put the stories of extreme violence in the Bible for us, and Haddads perspectives on these stories helps us understand the gospel, especially the cross of Jesus Christ, in a way that gives us hope in this broken world. Read it reflectively and allow the Holy Spirit to bring a deeper understanding of the story of the Bible--a God who redeems!" --Barry Vegter, district superintendent, Rocky Mountain District, Evangelical Free Church of America "Dealing with puzzling and provocative stories in the Bible is not an easy task--especially stories of violent, sometimes appalling incidents. Jonah Haddad tackles this task with an intriguing twist. He has a knack for both turning a phrase and giving a thoughtful insight into stories which cause many of the rest of us to just turn the page." --Rick Langer, professor of theology, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University Details ISBN Author Jonah Haddad Publisher Wipf & Stock Publishers Year 2024 ISBN-13 9798385212125 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-05-30 Imprint Wipf & Stock Publishers Audience General Pages 188 Subtitle Eighteen Shocking Tales of Judgment and Redemption Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-05-30 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
