Today, it is generally overlooked more punitive texts of the Bible and preference is given to the most uplifting and inspiring. However, the sweet and kind deity can sonsacarse of scripture through a selective reading of the text is very different from the jealous and vengeful god inspired the sticklers both Judaism and Christianity during the early history of monotheism.

He imagined God as a heavenly father, meek and mild, but rather as a deceived husband, so bitter and enraged by the promiscuity of his wife who is forced to torture and murder.

In fact, it is the image of the rejected lover-a favorite subject and even obsessive angriest biblical prophets, like Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Hosea which allows us to feel the visceral emotions that drove (and still driving) to the most zealous of the monotheists to commit acts of terror and bloodshed.

Specialist biblical themes, Jonathan Kirsch addresses a highly topical issue, that of religious war. This author defends the thesis that religious terrorism is not exclusive to one faith, despite what some believe today, not a feature of our time, and studies how they wanted to impose, along the history, the belief in one true and only god, who can not tolerate other ways of seeing the world and bases its existence on the cancellation of what is alien.
