His actions, when properly understood, are not at variance with the New Testament; rather, a view of the beautiful unity in the Bible as a whole will strengthen the church’s faith and aid in Christian witness and apologetics.. His actions appear to starkly contrast with the God of grace in the New Testament and with modern notions of justice and propriety.In this short volume, Old Testament scholar Walter Kaiser devotes each chapter to a different difficult subject, including creation, the wrath of God, the genocide of the Canaanites, God’s knowledge of the future, polygamy, Satan, the view of women, and application of the Old Testament law. The Old Testament and the God it depicts is One with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Practical, scriptural discussions of tough topics such as polygamy, genocide, and the role of women in the Old TestamentThe God of the Old Testament can seem very foreign to Christians.

Mcdanell In an ever-increasing secular age, the need for apologetic answers to skeptics is more necessary. A common source of criticism is the Old Testament with its many tales of supposed genocide, racism, sexism, polygamy, etc.It is for this reason I picked up the book Tough Questions about God and His Actions in the Old Testament by Dr. Walter C..
