6.36 - God’s People & Violence: Part Ten - When Forgiveness Begets Violence

After Class Podcast - A podcast by Ronald D. Peters, John C. Nugent, Samuel C. Long - Luni

"If you are not in the business of forgiving other people, then God is not in the business of forgiving you.” Today’s episode challenges many cultural norms and interpretations of how Christians should respond to violence. The guys open to Matthew to see how forgiveness ties into our study of violence.
