Is God a Moral Monster?
A recent collection of popular books written by the New Atheists have countered the opinion that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully. This point of view is even appearing in the church. What should christians say in response to such accusations? In Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan addresses some of the most difficult criticisms 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 and 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.
