"Most studies on violence in the Hebrew Bible focus on the question of how modern
readers should approach the problem. But they fail to ask how the Hebrew Bible thinks
about that problem in the first place. In this work, Matthew J. Lynch examines four
key ways that writers of the Hebrew Bible conceptualize and critique acts of violence:
violence as an ecological problem; violence as a moral problem; violence as a judicial
problem; violence as a purity problem. These four 'grammars of violence' help us interpret
crucial biblical texts where violence plays a lead role, like Genesis 4-9. Lynch's
volume also offers readers ways to examine cultural continuity and the distinctiveness
of biblical conceptions of violence"
