Reconciling Portrayals of God in the Old and New Testaments Paul Copan U.S.A. Baker Academic 2022 304tr. paperback, illustrations 23cm 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.
