Cambridge Festival

Interactive workshop discussing violent-sounding passages from the Bible and Quran, and how religious communities engage with these texts.

Faculty of Divinity

Are religious texts dangerous? Should seemingly violent passages in scripture be rejected, embraced or ignored? This interactive workshop discusses violent-sounding passages from the Bible and the Quran, and how religious communities engage with these texts.

The event will include an introductory presentation followed by an in-depth participatory discussion of a sample passage from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. The workshop is led by researchers from the Scripture &amp; Violence Project (www.scriptureandviolence.org), which is based in the Cambridge Interfaith Programme at the Faculty of Divinity (www.interfaith.cam.ac.uk).
