Binding: paperback

Section: Christianity-General

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. How can a God who provides and saves also wipe out entire nations? Richard Belcher’s addition to the Big Ten series begins by laying out how God created humanity in His own image, who then chose to reject Him. 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.
