The Bible has many stories, but really there are only two; a story of violent humanity, and the story of a self-giving, nonviolent God. The question has been how to distinguish the two. Bartlett shows that the narratives in tension are not two opposed Testaments, but the slow separating out of nonviolent revelation from the frame of violent meaning.
Bartlett supplies a rich seam of biblical evidence with gripping essays on Old Testament books and their evolution of transformative signs and new meaning. Accounts of the life of Jesus and the teaching of Paul make the change exponential, bringing to definitive expression the in-breaking of the nonviolent divine.
