Abstract
In its recent document God the Trinity and the Unity of Humanity, the International Theological Commission offers principles to reconcile the many Old Testament texts in which God ostensibly acts against his own nature by commanding deeds such as the slaughter of men, women, and children. This piece frames discussion of so-called «dark passages» in light of three hermeneutical keys: the divine pedagogy, the discernment of authorial assertions, and the spiritual sense. In particular, these principles will be applied to Psalm 137, one of the most beautiful and yet disturbing texts of the Old Testament.
