Introduction to Violence, War and Pacifism

Why does the Bible speak so much about violence, and how should Christians approach it today? In this opening session, Tom O’Toole shares his own journey, from reading violent passages in the Bible with detachment, to wrestling deeply with war in Ukraine and Jesus’ call to be a peacemaker. This episode sets the tone for the whole series: not quick answers, but an invitation to think Christianly about some of the hardest questions we face.
