Bible Meditation

In the second part of his series of meditations on violence, Bill Hewlett examines what the Bible has to tell us about violence and non-violence. First broadcast in 1997.

Bill leads us to meditate, amongst other things, on Peter’s reaction on witnessing Jesus’s transfiguration. (Note: at the time this programme was first broadcast, Britain was on the verge of joining the USA in going to war in Iraq)

The account in John chapter 4 about the woman at the well forms the basis for today’s meditation.

The Gospel account of Jesus healing a man who was born blind (from John chapter 9) forms the basis for Bill’s meditation today.
