Loving Your Enemies

There are just two passages in the Bible that refer in detail to ‘loving your enemies’ and both passages are difficult to understand, and appear to be impossible to put into practice. 


As a result, they have been subject to a number of different interpretations, and how we interpret the whole passage and the wider context will influence our understanding of the details. 


That being the case, the author has done a good job in first setting before the readers such fundamentals of interpretation as …


Who did Jesus address His words to? 
To when did they relate? 
Why did He say them? 



…. before looking at the details and searching for a valid application for Christians in the 21st century.
