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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Paul Copan, Matthew Flannagan</note> <subject> <topic>God -- Biblical teaching</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Violence -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Ethics in the Bible</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">239</classification> <classification authority="ddc">P324-C78</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801016226</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13461/d.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13461/d.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071244.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
