What is a thoughtful, compassionate Christian to do with all the
outrageous violence and hatred in the Old Testament? Many liberal
Christians will reject the notion that these texts are inspired by
God but in rescuing God's character they sacrifice the divine
authority of the scriptures. Fundamentalists will often bite the
proverbial bullet and accept that God really did command these
atrocities but how can one give any intelligible account of God's
holiness if He commands such evil deeds? Are these the only options
available to a believer who wishes to keep the Bible and their
conscience too? Apologist Randal Rauser doesn't think so. He
advocates an approach to interpreting the Old Testament which he
calls a "qualified embrace" of the scriptures. It's a clever
hermeneutic but does it succeed in providing an intellectually and
biblically sound way out of this dilemma? Also on this episode:
Jesus shares your political views but he is more extreme, the Boy
Scouts of America consider admitting gays and we conclude the
episode with a touching Polyatheism segment.
