Have you ever struggled to reconcile Jesus's commands to not resist evil, turn the other cheek, and love your enemies with his use of a whip to clear the temple, his praise for the Roman centurion, his command to the disciples to buy swords, and his frequent warnings of violent judgment, not to mention Revelation's prophecy that he will eventually return to kill God's enemies with a sword?

In this tightly packed volume, Fleischer provides a systematic, biblically based, and comprehensive overview of Jesus's relationship with violence, one that may forever change how you view his ministry and your calling.

"Easy-to-read and compellingly argued ... masterfully demonstrated ... a treasure trove of insights ..." - Greg Boyd (from the Foreword)
