Episode 22: Discussing OT Violence

After a bit of a hiatus, Angela, Isak, and Z are back to talk about the difficult subject of Old Testament violence, particularly the conquest passages.  We are joined by Isak’s friend Theo who takes a bit of a different approach than we do in handling those passages, opting to deny that God really commanded such conquests and instead say that the inspired author of those passages may have made a mistake.  Is this an acceptable view for Christians?  If not, how can Christians approach such passages in a way that preserves the historical truth of Scripture while maintaining God’s goodness?
