If you’re interested in Christian-Muslim relations … or the issue of violence in the Bible …

You really should read Aaron Taylor’s perceptive article on how Christians “cheat” when they compare Jesus and the Quran, here: http://www.middleeastexperience.com/jesus-loves-his-enemies-then-kills-them-all/#.UPVVKKXmsXd
As I’ve written a lot about Jesus, the Bible, and nonviolence – especially in A New Kind of Christianity and Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha (etc) – I’m interested in how Aaron gets the issue on the table, especially in relation to the way Christians use a violent interpretation of Jesus’ “second coming” to nullify the nonviolent message and example of his actual coming. That’s why I am an advocate for alternate understandings of eschatology, as I’ve discussed in the two books I just mentioned, along with Secret Message of Jesus and Everything Must Change.
