The Vindication of God
For millennia, Judeo-Christian institutions have struggled to interpret the scenes of murder and slaughter that stain the sacred texts. Paralyzed by a deep misunderstanding of the original intent, they have attempted to apologize for the violence or bury it under layers of comfort. NOT AN APOLOGYThis book strips away those failures to reveal the truth hidden within the scriptures. From the red dust of the Brook Kishon to the white peaks of Lebanon, what was misread as senseless bloodletting was actually a process of transformation.
What the world called sacrifice was the hard labor of forging something eternal. Within these pages, Shady B. Zoghby deconstructs the stories - from the binding of Isaac and the jawbone of Samson to the silence of the Master Mason - to prove that God is innocent of the cruelty attributed to Him by those who cannot see the purpose behind the fire. This is the realization that we do not die as dust, but are changed until we become as eternal as the Cedrus Libani.
