Der Autor betrachtet die Gewaltzüge im Kontext der Zeit und stellt sie in Bezug auf Gott und Mensch dar. Er untersucht die Ambivalenz von Gott und die Herausforderungen des menschlichen Daseins, wobei der rote Faden im Alten Testament auf Gewaltreduktion und Versöhnung setzt. Die biblische Theologie betont die Kontinuität und Diskontinuität beider Testamente, während sie gleichzeitig eine Entwicklungsgeschichte und den Gott, der in der Geschichte handelt, berücksichtigt. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 729 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 June 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vandenhoeck \u0026amp; Ruprecht GmbH \u0026amp; Co KG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe language and imagery of violence in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament, are often perceived by many readers in the fields of theology and church practice as offensive. The author contextualizes the violent acts and scenes within the historical context of their time and arrives at a balanced portrayal of God and humanity, as well as corresponding ethical principles. Thus, God's character emerges as multifaceted, displaying a clear inclination towards universal grace, but becoming more specific in the New Testament, particularly in the image of Jesus Christ and his kingdom-of-God proclamation. The essence of human nature is characterized by a blend of freedom and sinfulness; this ideal is realized in the Old Testament through obedience to God and trust in his faithfulness, while in the New Testament, it is fulfilled through the embodiment of the new covenant in Christ. A hermeneutic approach is taken to analyze the relevant texts, whenever possible, under three key questions: 1. What does the text say about God? 2. What does the text say about humanity (or Israel)? 3. What should humanity (or Israel) be like? 4. What should Israel be like? 5. 5. The author describes God's nature as characterized by ambiguity, which has the potential to be disruptive or transformative throughout history, with a universal-healing tendency. The nature of humanity (or Israel) is situated in the tension between being a son and being subject to sin, with the ultimate goal of forming a new covenant community. The actions of humanity (or Israel) are guided by their decisions to align with or oppose the covenant, with the hope of experiencing a new era marked by the fulfillment of God's intentions. In the Old Testament, a red thread of violence reduction, understanding, and reconciliation is prevalent, emphasizing the need for peace and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783525565551\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gunter Scholz","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097286766842,"sku":"9783525565551","price":94.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646235770415_book.jpg?v=1646930797","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/von-gewalt-zur-gewaltuberwindung-in-der-bibel-theologische-anthropologische-und-ethische-aspekte-9783525565551","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
