Old Testament Sex and Violence

Focus on Faith

Available for over a year

New book claims to uncover hidden sex and violence in the Old Testament. Focus on Faith speaks to Jonathan Kirsch, the author of The Harlot by the Side of the Road, about why he thinks the Hebrew scriptures are some of the most violent and sexually explicit in all of Western literature. Also on the programme, Africa welcomes the new Christian missionaries and music to raise spirits in Zimbabwe.
