The narrative has supported virtually all Western colonizing enterprises (e.g. in Latin America, South Africa, Palestine), resulting in the suffering of millions of people, and loss of respect for the Bible. According to modern secular standards of human and political rights, what the biblical narrative calls for are war-crimes and crimes against humanity. In this provocative and compelling study, Prior protests at the neglect of the moral question in conventional l biblical studies, and attempts to rescue the Bible from being a blunt instrument in the oppression of people.Biblical seminar ;48.Land tenureBiblical teachingLand useBiblical teachingLand tenureMoral and ethical aspectsElectronic books.Land tenureBiblical teaching.Land useBiblical teaching.Land tenureMoral and ethical aspects.325.3Prior Michael(Michael P.)49085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453853203321The Bible and colonialism1967882UNINA
