A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a
good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale
slaughter of nations. Even Christians have a hard time stomaching
such a thought, and many avoid reading those difficult Old
Testament passages that make us squeamish. Instead, we quickly jump
to the enemy-loving, forgiving Jesus of the New Testament. And yet,
the question doesn't go away. Did God really command genocide? Is
the command to "utterly destroy" morally unjustifiable? Is it
literal? Are the issues more complex and nuanced than we realize?
In the tradition of his popular "Is God a Moral Monster?," Paul
Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most
confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they
help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical,
theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old
Testament warfare passages. Pastors, youth pastors, campus
ministers, apologetics readers, and laypeople will find that this
book both enlightens and equips them for serious discussion of
troubling spiritual questions.
