Is God a Vindictive Bully? with Dr. Paul Copan
Manage episode 379040075 series 3322177
If God is love (1 Jn 4:8, 16), why does the Bible make Him look like a bully? Join Sam Fornecker for a chat with Dr. Paul Copan (Pledger Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University) about violence in the Bible: from criminal justice to divine smiting, from cursing psalms to holy war. This conversation draws on Paul's recent book, Is God a Vindictive Bully? (Baker Academic, 2022) to show that a careful reading of the Bible reveals a God at once more holy, more just, and more lovely than we could have imagined.
