For centuries, the Bible’s tales of divine wrath and conquest have been the elephant in the room for Christians. The commands in Deuteronomy to “utterly destroy” the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 20:16-18) or Joshua’s sweeping campaigns of annihilation (Joshua 11:14) are hardly the kind of verses you see stitched onto pillows or painted on nursery walls. These passages don’t inspire; they provoke—summoning the worst accusations: God is a tyrant, a moral monster, a genocidal maniac.
Even devout believers often flinch. How do we reconcile the image of Jesus cradling children (Mark 10:16) with a God who orders infants to be killed (1 Samuel 15:3)? For skeptics, this contradiction is a goldmine: If God is love (1 John 4:8), how can He command such violence? If He’s good (Mark 10:18), why doesn’t He act good? These aren’t new questions, but they remain some of the thorniest issues in Christian theology. And they demand more than soundbites or rehearsed apologetics—they demand courage to face them head-on - which is precisely what I intend to do in this short book!
Dr. Eitan Bar, a Jewish-Christian scholar with advanced Bible, apologetics, and theology degrees, is a unique combination. As a native Hebrew speaker and Bible scholar, he combines his Jewish background with his Christian education and faith to offer an accessible guide to understanding the Bible.
