Is God a Moral Monster? – Making Sense of the Old Testament God

Is the God of the Old Testament nothing but a bully, a murderer, and an oppressor? Many today--even within the church--seem to think so. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: ? God is arrogant and jealous ? God punishes people too harshly ? God is guilty of ethnic cleansing ? God oppresses women ? God endorses slavery ? Christianity causes violence Copan not only answers the critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.
