Shadows of Redemptive Violence


Redemptive violence
Myth of Christianity
Entwined in teachings

Myth that eclipses
Jesus’ loving example
A nonviolent life

Is peace through war right?
And security through strength?
What would Jesus do?

We kill those who kill
Hit children to teach it’s wrong
Where is compassion?

Did a loving God
Require a blood sacrifice
To pay for our sins?

Jesus taught God’s love
Face of God in human form
A new covenant
