Book Description

Using the Bible as the foundational source and guide, while also bringing contemporary sociological data to the conversation, seven biblical scholars and theologians construct a powerful dialogue about gun violence in America, concluding that guns are incompatible with the God of Christian Scripture. God and Guns is the first book to argue against gun culture from a biblical studies perspective. Bringing the Bible into conversation with contemporary sociological data, the volume breaks new exegetical and critical ground and lays the foundations for further theological work. The scholars assembled in this volume construct a powerful argument against gun violence, concluding that a self-identity based on guns is incompatible with Christian identity. Drawing on their expertise in the Bible's ancient origins and modern usage, they present striking new insights involving psychology, ethics, race, gender, and culture. This collection, carefully edited for clarity and accessibility, will change conversations--and our culture. Contributors include: ● T. M. Lemos ● David Lincicum ● Shelly Matthews ● Yolanda Norton ● Brent A. Strawn

Author Bio

Chris is an historian of urban America in the 20th century. He earned a Ph.D. in American history from Rutgers University, which is also his undergraduate alma mater.

He is writing a book, under contract with Columbia University Press, examining New York City in the decades after World War II to try to make sense of the July 1964 rebellions that gripped the city for nearly a week. It is an exploration of race, housing, employment, education, policing, politics, protest and American values in New York and the nation.

His teaching is primarily in labor history across time in America, with a focus on the development of the institutions and ideologies of race, class, gender, capitalism, industry and work.
