Nonetheless, according to Gerd Ludemann, its use by Christians is highly selective. Ludemann asks, what about those parts of the Bible that contain God's command to exterminate entire peoples or those texts which demonize other faiths? He focuses first on the practice of Holy War and then on the anti-Judaism of New Testament writings. He also tackles the question of how, given this destructive side of Scripture, we can continue to be Christians. In response, he points to the person of Jesus and his example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerd Ludemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0664257399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664257392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.50w x 0.57d","brand":"Gerd Ludemann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491369087231,"sku":"9780664257392","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1012d07b-b747-4db3-b869-230ad5a6c44e.jpg?v=1699450812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-unholy-in-holy-scripture-gerd-ludemann-9780664257392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
