A Biblical Testimony of Love and Violence in a Pluralistic Religious Context.
The text from Genesis 34 tells the story of a young girl around whom a terrible drama unfolds. We will try to clarify the nature of these offenses and discover who is guilty and why. Sometimes love turns into violence, even though it should bring harmony and peace. A careful reading of this text reveals traces showing us that educational values are always relevant in a pluralistic and individualistic world. Interpretations of this text may diverge, and explanations of the events are multiple. Freedom of speech and traditions must have a humanistic and pacifistic nature, and the distortion of these meanings can take on the guise of intolerance and resentment. Authentic values are those that influence a life and make it beautiful.
