At the center of the Christian narrative is God sacrificing his own life for the sake of sinners and enemies. However, in other parts of scripture, there are people killing their enemies in the name of God. So how do we as Christians interact with war and violence in the modern world in light of the wars in scripture and the enemy love and self-sacrificial example of Christ? Chris and Wayne explore Activism, Just War, and Pacifism, ancient Jewish sects, and Biblical interpretation, as well as share methods to discuss these issues with students.
