Summary
Jesus emerges in the history of ancient Israel, and he cannot be separated from it, if we are to understand him as a figure in human history. Israel’s ancient history, however, is drenched in the blood of holy war in the name of God, the supposed Father of Jesus. Many people rightly doubt that all of the blood spilled there is redemptive in turning something bad into something good. If real, the alleged good involved often eludes the perception of many of us, through no evident fault of our own.
