These twelve essays illustrate the range of biblical meanings when scholars, living and working on the American continent, address people's experiences of violence in the study of the Bible through the context of la violencia.

Do we concentrate on -God- in our response or do we interrogate what diversity and justice mean in light of God's love for diversity and justice? Alternatively, do we...
