Yahweh Saves: Why I believe in a non-violent God

This paper introduces, in plain terms, the case for a non-violent God. Written during a catastrophic war in Palestine/Israel, the paper argues that Jesus reveals the nature of God to humanity in his character, in his teachings, and in his actions, all of which were non-violent. The revelation of Jesus thus completes the trajectory of the Old Testament, affirming its theological advances while exploding the residual assumption of divine violence.
