About this listen

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. They claim that God condones genocide, that he is a cruel and oppressive megalomaniac, but this doesn’t seem to match what Christians claim about him being a God of love. How can a God who provides and saves also wipe out entire nations?

Richard Belcher’s addition to the Big 10 series addresses these commonly asked questions. He begins by laying out how God created humanity in his own image, but we chose to reject him. Our very sense that things are not fair points to the perfect justice of God. Belcher shows that God’s justice, including expressions of anger against wrongdoing, is compatible with his love and goodness.

Belcher then tackles specific texts in the Bible that seem to promote genocide and oppression and shows how the God of the Old Testament is the same loving, generous, gracious God that we meet in the person of Jesus Christ.

An excellent audiobook for any who struggle to answer questions about the character of God and for those looking to bolster their faith in the God of the Bible.
