We return to the Bible this week, to the thorny topic of how we deal with difficult Bible verses, particularly verses about eternal punishment and divine vengeance. As our correspondent puts it, it's like Biblical whack-a-mole: you hammer one passage down, only to see new ones pop up.

Most importantly, we consider how, despite the difficulties, we can continue to engage with and be inspired by the scriptures.
