Jesusviolence

Exploring the complex relationship between Jesus and violence, "Jesusviolence" delves into the ways the narratives within the New Testament gospels have been interpreted and appropriated throughout history. The book investigates both the violence depicted in the gospels and the historical atrocities committed in Jesus's name, examining how certain teachings have enabled systemic harm across class, sex/gender, and race/ethnicity. With a focus on the profound implications of these texts, the author engages with contemporary theories to highlight the impact of gospel narratives beyond their conventional meanings.
