| Summary: | This book is a collection of essays, most originally presented as papers at meetings of the Psychology and Biblical Studies section of the Society for Biblical Literature. In his introduction Andrew Kille explains that the theme that unites them is the relationship between the Bible and violence. He clearly sets out a number of key questions regarding the nature of sacred texts in the legitimization of violence, together with potentially violent psychic processes inherent in the texts themselves. These processes (such as splitting and projection) may have arisen in a context where small faith communities were struggling to form and maintain an identity that was felt to be under threat. |
