Conceiving Peace and Violence A New Testament Legacy

In this book, Philip Tite explores the role of biblical texts in the promotion of peace and violence. He begins by exploring the function of religious texts as ideological elements, recognizing that the New Testament affects the social construction of realities or cultures within which people read and apply authoritative writings to ethical discussions. Arguing that an engaged reading of these texts is central within moral discourse, Dr. Tite explores such issues as feminist challenges to biblical ethics, Jewish-Christian relations, and gay and lesbian ethical disputes in Christianity.Tite, Philip L. is the author of 'Conceiving Peace and Violence A New Testament Legacy' with ISBN 9780761826767 and ISBN 0761826769.
