For centuries, many Christians have inherited a picture of God that seems comfortable with violence, wrath, and bloodshed. But when we look at Jesus—the exact image of the Father—we discover a radically different revelation.
God’s No To Violence: Disarming the Bloodthirsty Theology of Modern Christianity is a 10-session study track that reexamines difficult Scriptures, explores the witness of the early church, and centers everything on the crucified Christ who would rather absorb violence than inflict it.
In this course we’ll explore:
• Why Jesus rebuked violent interpretations of God
• How the cross exposes and disarms human violence
• The difference between the God revealed in Christ and the violent images we have projected onto Him
• What a truly non-violent gospel means for the church today
If you’ve ever wrestled with difficult passages or wondered how to reconcile the God of love with texts of destruction, this study is for you.
