prof. sarah-e-rollens is writing superficial and writing rubbish ..off course faith books have bullshit in them.,
For many, the Bible (both the Hebrew Bible [aka the Old Testament for Christians] and the New Testament) is a moral touchstone and a guide to a peaceful life.
1. The Rape of Dinah (Genesis 34):
2. Genocide in Joshua (Joshua 1-12):
3. The Dismembered Concubine (Judges 19):
4. The Murder of John the Baptist (Mark 6):
5. The Killing of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5):
6. Wilderness Slaughter (Exodus 32):
7. The Parable of the Unfaithful Slave (Luke 12):
8. Revelation’s Bowls of Wrath (Revelation 16):
9. Jephthah’s Human Sacrifice (Judges 11):
10. Sexual Violence Against Jacob’s Wives’ Slaves (Genesis 30):
But wait, there’s more. Unfortunately the Bible’s violence can’t be limited to a top-ten list, so here are a few runners up and honorable mentions.
1. Cain Kills Abel (Genesis 4): Many treat this as the first “murder.”
2. Jesus Crucified (Mark 16 and parallels):
3. Judas’ Deaths (Matthew 27; Acts 1):
4. Drowning Pharaoh’s Army (Exodus 14):
5. Paul Wishes Castration on his Opponents (Galatians 5):

One should NOT mix all all these books together and write flat out one page criticism of Bible stories ... moreover does bible say You left Judaism or christianity or you are idolater ...buddhist ..KILL YOU ??
Most important is, the important story characters of these books
Moses and Jesus of these books are NOT as violent as the latest Abrahamic faith manuals.. The IDIOTS IN ISLAM who copy pasted those stories of OT & NT into Islam faith books were supposed improve upon those silly OT & NT books .,instead of that they made it worse by adding some stupid gillion hadith sayings...
MOCK THE FOOLS AND MOVEON
So I say her criticism is just Academic ..nothing more nothing less
