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?\n\nFollowing 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1540964558\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1540964558.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paul Copan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
