39 | Violence | Understanding the Bible VII

We finish our arc on Understanding the Bible, and our discussion on "Weird Bits" of the Bible that can bring up fear or doubt (cont'd from Episode 38).  In this ep, we look at Violence in the Bible, and use Greg Boyd's perspective on how to view it.   Click here to listen to our previous episode "If you're outside on a day when you can only catch glimpses of the sun, it means it's a mostly cloudy day.
