When Violence is Called Holy: Christianity, Scripture, and Power
In this episode of Living Deeply with Markieta, I explore how Christian scripture, history, and political power have sometimes been used to justify violence and cruelty in the name of God. From biblical passages about warfare to the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and colonization, I examine how religious authority can make harm seem righteous. I also recognize Christianity’s traditions of compassion and nonviolence while calling for an honest look at the harm committed in its name.
