“Reviewed By Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite
God’s Words: Preaching Peace While Justifying Violence by Ricardo V. Sibilla is a philosophical guide that sets out to dismantle the assumption that sacred texts transmit fixed divine commands that legitimize moral, authority-sanctioned harm. Through a wealth of references and exhaustive research, Sibilla demonstrates that religious violence originates in human interpretation, institutional selection, and the political use of symbolic language, not in transcendent instruction. He exposes how scriptures were revised to convert mythic material into binding law, then shielded those interpretations from scrutiny. By tracing the same symbolic mechanisms across religions and secular ideologies, the author seeks to remove the moral cover that permits harm in the name of higher authority, and to return ethical responsibility to human decision-making grounded in accountability rather than revelation.
Ricardo V. Sibilla’s book, God’s Words, could not have landed in my lap at a more appropriate time. Right now, we see the rise of groups claiming a religious identity while endorsing violence and extreme punishment, and the author addresses that reality by examining how doctrine has been manipulated. As a lover of archaeology, the most fascinating aspect is how closely biblical covenant language parallels ancient imperial treaties, with scribes adapting Bronze Age political structures into religious text by replacing emperors with gods. The writing style is intelligent while remaining accessible, with direct references to manuscripts and scripture. The author adeptly informs readers who might be new to this field of study, while respecting those with long familiarity. Overall, this brilliant book will appeal to adult readers interested in religion, history, ethics, and public life, and all who value a careful examination of belief systems and their social consequences. Very highly recommended.”
