A well-presented theological response

Far too little attention is given in the popular media today to those who have well-reasoned biblical responses to the claims of Neo atheists that have gone viral and have caused many to embrace poorly examined unsubstantiated claims under the banner of modern reason. This book is a worthy response, based in sound theological argumentation, drawn not only from scripture but also from history and even the positions of moderate atheist who view many popularized neo-atheistic claims as extreme, poorly argued and embarrassing.

Passages of scripture that are often difficult to interpret and used as targets by radical popular atheists are explained within their context and appropriately applied. The erroneous claims of atheist are addressed in a compassionate, but pointed and well researched fashion. This book is informative, enjoyable, and a wonderful contribution to biblical apologetics.

a different point of view.

it is interesting to realize what GOD'S plan for the nation of Israel really was, not exactly what we think GOD planned

Must read!

The best book that I have read that explains what may seem as atrocities of the Old testament. Recommend this book for atheist and Christians alike.

Good book to understand the old testament spirit

learn well about much misconception on how people view the mean god in the old testament

Is God a moral monster?

As a 45 year student of the Bible and apologetics, I greatly enjoy and profited from this work.

In your face Dawkins!

This is a refreshing book that lets the Christian reader know that he doesn't have to apologize for the God of the Old Testament. A great explanation of why calling God a moral monster is more to stir a emotional response rather than any in depth look at the subject matter.

Really good but also shockingly ignorant in places

I enjoyed this and learned a lot from it. However, while the author might be extremely knowledgeable about the Bible, his ignorance of the American slave trade is shocking. He said more than once that "if Southerners had followed the Bible, slavery wouldn't have been an issue." This ignores the facts that other African tribes were capturing and selling Africans into slavery, Northerners also owned slaves, and the majority of the ships that brought slaves to the US were Northern owned. There's plenty of blame to go around regarding slavery, not just to the South and not just to America. Still a good book though when the author sticks to topics he's actually knowledgeable about.

informative

this book is an invaluable guide for those wanting to make sense of the old testament

Excellent!

Anyone hoping for an honest contextual understanding of the Old Testament should listen to this book. Many have an axe to grind against God simply because they have not understood the Law in *context*. If you divorce the law from its context, you will never understand what God truly intended. Phenomenal book, will soon be listening to it again!
