Short Takes: Reading Scripture Through the Jesus Lens

from Faith Seeking Understanding: A Podcast on Christian Faith and 21st Century Life · host Allan R. Bevere

On this "Short Take," I respond to Franklin Graham and Pete Hegseth's usage of Scripture to justify Donald Trump's war with Iran. The New Testament writers read Israel's Scripture through the person and work of Jesus, which reinterprets the violence of Israel's history.
