God Behaving Badly? Providing Explanation to some difficult Old Testament passages

from Centrally Speaking · host Ministerial Staff at Central Schwenkfelder Church

Some people have difficulty with the Old Testament. God seems to be harsh or mean in the Old Testament but kind in the New Testament. How can that be? Why does God strike down a man who is trying to steady the Ark of the Covenant? Why would God ask someone like Hosea to marry a prostitute? Why did God in the Old Testament seemingly promote genocide? How does the God of the Old Testament fit with the loving and kind Jesus of the New Testament? Dr. David Lamb, Academic Dean and the MacRae Professor of Old Testament at Missio Seminary in Philadelphia, PA explains. This podcast comes from his book God Behaving Badly which will be going into its 2nd printing next year. #centralschwenkfelder #OldTestament #wrathofGod #loveofGod #hardquestionsBibleCentrally Speaking is a ministry of Central Schwenkfelder Church in Lansdale, PA USA.
