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. 650 0 $a God $x Biblical teaching. 630 00 $a Bible. $p New Testament $x Relation to the Old Testament. 941 $a 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230303011118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B00BEE0B99111ED87B4EF6C3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
