    About this ebook

    • Why does God apparently tell Joshua to wipe out whole cities, tribes or nations?
    • Is this yet another example of dogmatic religious conviction breeding violence?
    • Did these texts help inspire or justify the Crusades?
    • What impact do they have on Christian morality and just war theories today?
    • How does divine warfare fit with Christs call to "turn the other cheek"?
    • Why does Paul employ warfare imagery in his letters?
    • Do these texts warrant questioning the overall trustworthiness of the Bible?
