Violence in the Bible: The Conquest of Canaan
November 11, 2023
Knight & Rose ShowWintery Knight and Desert Rose
Wintery Knight and Desert Rose discuss a common objection to Christianity - that God commanded the Israelites to commit unjustified acts of violence against innocent people. We focus on an important example of this: the Conquest of Canaan. We discuss the historical context of the war and what it says about God's character. We also discuss strategies for responding to the objection.
