Solid Trajectory, But Not Far Enough. I'm not completely sold that the "trajectory" reading of the Bible Flood bases his premise on is entirely correct, but for now let's go with it. Flood raises a lot of good points that will, as the title implies, "step on toes" across "both" sides of the American political divide. But there are certainly times where he contradicts himself and others where he reveals his own cloudy understanding of violence, choosing to view violence only as genocide, murder, explicit assault, and the like. But in the end, Flood doesn't go quite far enough in his own line of reasoning and instead tends to embrace certain forms of "acceptable" violence, in ways reminiscent of the very blatantly antiquated notions he is attacking in this book. Absolutely recommended for those that either openly embrace the wanton slaughter of the Old Testament or those that fully reject it, as this will at least open you to the basic concepts of nonviolence.
