The BibleProject's Tim Mackie gives his take of divine violence in the Bible and the way of Jesus, including his death for enemies. How does he hold a "mosaic" of images that come from Scripture together? In this Theology Lab conversation, Tim Mackie of The BibleProject (the Bible Project) joins us for the second part of our interview. The first part looked at the origins of evil and key patterns in Genesis 1–11. This episode focuses on the challenge of violence in Scripture, especially passages where God commands violence and how those passages might be understood in light of the revelation of God in Jesus.

Where does evil come from, and what does the Bible actually teach about good and evil? In this conversation, Tim Mackie of The Bible Project explores the biblical origins of evil through Genesis 1–11, including the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Tim explains how the Bible presents evil as a distortion of God's good creation and why understanding Genesis is essential for understanding Jesus, sin, suffering, violence, and the human condition. A thoughtful discussion on biblical theology, Christianity, and the problem of evil.
