 2:00-1:00 pm (Central time)\nZoom registration link: https://zoom.us/meeti
 ng/register/KWFNxebsRcq2ZfReSVpREQ\nDescription: In some of the Bible's mo
 st challenging passages\, violence appears to be\ncommanded or sanctioned 
 by God\, leading some political leaders and some people in the\npew to con
 clude that violence can\, under certain circumstances\, be justified for G
 od's\npeople. Yet a careful reading of Scripture challenges whether these 
 “texts of violence”\nshould be understood as establishing a normative 
 ethic for followers of Jesus. These two\nZoom sessions will explore the in
 terpretive approaches that shape how Christians read\ndifficult passages i
 n both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Together\, we will\nconside
 r how Jesus' life\, teachings\, and response to violence provide an interp
 retive lens\nfor understanding Scripture and the Christian call to nonviol
 ence.
