Is God a Moral Monster?: Making Sense of the Old Testament God
Paul Copan

This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. 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 jealousGod punishes people too harshlyGod is guilty of ethnic cleansingGod oppresses womenGod endorses slaveryChristianity causes violenceand more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Paul CopanPublisher: Baker BooksPublished: 01/01/2011ISBN: 9780801072758Pages: 252Weight: 0.77lbsSize: 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60dReview Citations: CBA Retailers 01/01/2011 pg. 30
