The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University produced a short study guide on violent parables and nonviolent Jesus.
Excerpt:
Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount instructs us to not return violence for violence; instead, we should be like God, who offers boundless, gratuitous love to all. But in the same Gospel Jesus tells eight parables in which God deals violently with evildoers. Which of the divine ways are we to imitate?
