No Tolerance for Tyrants: The Biblical Assault on Kings and Kingship by Robert Karl Gnuse Paperback, 184 Pages, Published 2011 ISBN-10: 0-8146-5762-1 / 0814657621 ISBN-13: 978-0-8146-5762-1 / 9780814657621 Until the modern era, monarchs were understood to be supported by the power of God; they were, in fact, in some cases thought to be gods themselves. The Bible has often been misinterpreted to encourage such oppressive values. Robert Gnuse, however, argues that the Bible is not a tyrannical text. Rat |
