The young adults we know wonder why there is so much violence in the Bible. From sacrifice to murder to genocide, there is a lot of disconcerting stuff in a book that we often go to for comfort and peace. Falon and Sara are talking to Rick Marrs — a Bible professor and Hebrew scholar — about how to navigate the messy and disturbing stories of the Bible.
Dr. Rick Marrs is a professor of Old Testament and the former provost at Pepperdine University. He has his PhD from Johns Hopkins University, and he has a book titled Embracing the Call of God: Finding Ourselves in Genesis. Learn more about his work here.
