Many Christians wrestle with biblical passages in which God
commands the slaughter of the Canaanites - men, women, and
children. The issue of the morality of the biblical God is one of
the major challenges for faith today. How can such texts be Holy
Scripture? In this bold and innovative book, Douglas Earl grasps
the bull by the horns and guides readers to new and unexpected ways
of looking at the book of Joshua. Drawing on insights from the
early church and from modern scholarship, Earl argues that we have
mistakenly read Joshua as a straightforward historical account and
have ended up with a genocidal God. In contrast, Earl offers a
theological interpretation in which the mass killing of Canaanites
is a deliberate use of myth to make important theological points
that are still valid today. Christopher J. H. Wright then offers a
thoughtful response to Earl's provocative views. The book closes
with Earl's reply to Wright and readers are encouraged to continue
the debate.
