Some parts of the Bible are genuinely disturbing. Genocide. Conquest. A God who seems to order atrocities. This bundle doesn't look away.
You'll start with divine violence in the Old Testament, sitting with the commands to kill and the wars waged in God's name and asking the theological questions those texts actually raise. Then you'll look at the conquest narratives specifically, what historians, archaeologists, and theologians have made of those stories and why it matters. You'll dig into the role of blood in biblical religion: sacrifice, atonement, and what it means that so much of the story runs red. And you'll close with something more personal, how Scripture itself handles suffering and lament, and what it might have to offer people who are carrying their own.
This bundle won't make the hard texts easy. It'll just help you stop pretending they aren't there.
