The lecture is taken from the telegram channel of the professor (Evgeny Zharinov - Lectures and announcements). The channel was created by Evgeny Zharinov and his son Stanislav. Here they post up-to-date information about upcoming lectures and trips, and also post audio recordings of some lectures. Lecture: "The Bible and War". At the time of the creation of the Bible, war was a way of life in the sense that it was waged more or less continuously, so it is impossible not to notice what role it played in the Old Testament world. The Bible has a very complex structure in its content. Along with religious and historical tales, the Old Testament includes books of a religious-poetic, philosophical and ritual nature, as well as prophetic books. For this reason, the wars described in the Bible will be considered from different angles. The religious and historical tales of the Bible were most fully embodied in Josephus Flavius in his work "Jewish Antiquities". But the Bible is not only the history of the Jewish people. What about the religious component? The so-called hidden, spiritual meaning of the narrative? Almost every sacred text refers to war or battle in one way or another. For example, the Bhagavad Gita. How is this hidden religious meaning of wars shown in the Bible? #OpenLectures #ZharinovOkulture #Zharinov
