What this episode covers
Does the Old Testament seem particularly harsh and cruel, especially since it comes from a loving God? Does God seem to have a major personality shift in the New Testament? What about the ethical considerations of designer babies and gene selection? We pose these questions to Dr. Scott Rae, the dean of faculty at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, and a professor of ethics and philosophy. Scott offers his perspective on why the Old Testament is far more complex than we realize.
