Family Feuds: Forgotten Bible Rivalries and What the Church Can Relearn About Reconciliation

It can be said that the word disagreement not only describes the political and social climate within the United States but also the climate of some Christian churches in America. Some of the disagreements experienced by the Church are about whether Black Lives Matter or All Lives Matter and How to Make America Great Again. These types of tensions are not new to the Church. They resemble discussions had by faithful children of God as they navigated the journey out of Egypt to the Promised Land and by the disciples who attempted to navigate life as the Church grew exponentially and non-Jews became associated with the Jesus movement.

Family Feuds explores multiple stories from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament that were filled with conflict, separation, and reconciliation. These stories encourage a new generation of believers to wrestle with what it means for the Church to be made of people with diverse life experiences and differing expectations while remaining faithful to the opportunity to love God, love others, and make God's kingdom known.
