Christianity Today 2023 Award of Merit (Apologetics &
Evangelism) Critics outside the church often accuse the Old
Testament God of genocide, racism, ethnic cleansing, and violence.
But a rising tide of critics within the church claim that Moses and
other "primitive," violence-prone prophets were mistaken about
God's commands and character. Both sets of critics dismiss this
allegedly harsh, flawed, "textual" Old Testament God in favor of
the kind, compassionate, "actual" God revealed by Jesus. Are they
right to do so? Following his popular book Is God a Moral Monster?,
noted apologist Paul Copan confronts false, imbalanced teaching
that is confusing and misleading many Christians. Copan takes on
some of the most difficult Old Testament challenges and places them
in their larger historical and theological contexts. He explores
the kindness, patience, and compassion of God in the Old Testament
and shows how Jesus in the New Testament reveals not only divine
kindness but also divine severity. The book includes a detailed
Scripture index of difficult and controversial passages and is
helpful for anyone interested in understanding the flaws in these
emerging claims that are creating a destructive gap between the
Testaments.
