William Webb confronts those often-avoided biblical passages that call for the corporal punishment of children, slaves, and wrongdoers. How should we understand and apply those injunctions? Are we obligated to replicate them today? Building on the findings of his previous work in Slaves, Women & Homosexuals, Webb argues that a redemptive hermeneutic points us to God's ultimate ethic and enables us to remain truly biblical.
