Description
Throughout history people have been scarred by the violence of the Bible, scars that sometimes speak of a lost faith. In a world continually beset by violence, can a God of wrath, violent judgment, and bloodshed really be good news? Can the God of love, as seen in Jesus, also be the God who commands slaughter? Why is history filled with scapegoats?
In Finding God, Joseph Haward confronts these questions head-on, wrestling with the biblical stories of sacred violence, divine wrath, and human suffering.
Maybe these stories have something remarkable to reveal to us? Maybe from the ashes of our faith—a faith consumed by such extreme violence—something new can rise up?
Offering a bold, provocative, and deeply biblical vision, Joseph Haward believes that beyond the bloodshed we can find a God who is far greater than we dared hope for or believed.
