The pioneering work of Rene Girard has spawned many works in the area of violence in biblical and religious studies, but most have been of a general nature. Mark McEntire offers the first exegetical study of violence in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on selected texts. McEntire stays within the parameters of the Hebrew Bible with astonishing results.
While much has been said about peace in the Bible, and about God and violence, war, and retribution in the Old Testament, this book looks at how violence is the undercurrent of the plot of the Hebrew Bible.
