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.

Rock-solid answers to otherwise confusing Old Testament stories.

Copan gives amazingly clear answers to every question that New Testament Christians and Atheists have posed for years about the Old Testament. Easy enough for new Christians and deep enough for theologians, philosophers and scholars.

Some parts engaging, others passing

The author presents many cases in general sections but never quite answers the title question

Perhaps the best book on this issue

I found the insights into the cultural context in biblical times extremely enlightening. I would highly recommend this book. However, I did find the numerous biblical footnotes a little distracting. I’m not sure how I’d resolve that issue.

Answering the hard questions of the Old Testament!

Please read this book! It is very long but it's worth it. If you have ever struggled with the Old Testament before this book will answer your questions. Single-handedly this book refutes any Old Testament disputes of what really happened in ancient Israel.

one of my all-time favorite books

Everyone should read this book. It should be a standard text in church Bible studies and for kids in highschool getting ready to head off to college.
