Is God a Moral Monster? Making Sense of the Old Testament God by Paul Copan
This book attempts to respond to the accusations by the non-Christian that the God of Old Testament is unjust and immoral. For example how do we explain the Canaanite genocide recorded in the book of Joshua. Why did God command Israel not just to kill Canaanite soldiers but also women, children and animals? Why are women in the Old Testament viewed as inferior to men? Why does God approve of slavery? Why did God command Abraham to murder his son Isaac on an altar of sacrifice? All of these things are both unjust and immoral why would God approve of them? These questions and many more are skillfully answered by Paul Copan.
