We’ll delve into the countless acts of love and justice inspired by its teachings, from the founding of hospitals to the fight for human rights.However, we’ll also confront the darker side: how the Bible has been used to justify hatred, violence, and persecution. We’ll discuss how to discern between faithful and harmful interpretations and encourage listeners to use the Bible as a tool for good, not evil.Sources for further reading on the subject Holland, Tom.
