“Holy War”: The Consequence Of OPEN DEFECATION

Synopsis

In 'Holy War: Consequences of Open Defecation,' the concept of ‘holy war’ from an OT passage is connected to the NT and eschatological contexts. The book argues that Deuteronomy 23:12-14, which addresses sanitation in the OT Israel camp, underpins ‘Yahweh war’ or ‘holy war,’ where obedience ensures holiness and God’s support in battle, while disobedience brings severe consequences. It sets the stage for a third book, 'Fellow Ghanaians, Let’s Stop Open Defecation, else…,' which applies these discussions to a contemporary context, emphasizing the importance of sanitation laws.
