Episode notes
In this Theology Lab podcast theologian and pastor (and long-time advocate of open theism) Greg Boyd challenges us to rethink passages on violence in the Bible and what they reveal about the character of God. Should Christians take depictions of divine violence at face value, or read them through the lens of Jesus and the cross? Boyd invites viewers to explore Scripture with honesty, humility, and faith, asking how difficult texts fit into the bigger story of God’s redemptive love. Perfect for non-expert Christians, curious believers, and those still in the church but wrestling with big theological questions, this conversation offers a fresh, accessible approach to biblical interpretation, violence in Scripture, and nuanced faith.
