Förlagets beskrivning
A discussion of various contemporary evangelical views of genocide in the
Old Testament Christians are often shocked to read that Yahweh, the God of the
Israelites, commanded the total destruction--all men, women, and children--of
the ethnic group know as the Canaanites. This seems to contradict Jesus'
command in the New Testament to love your enemies and do good to all people.
How can Yahweh be the same God as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ? What
does genocide in the Bible have to do with the politics of the 21st
century? This book explores, in typical Counterpoints format, the Old Testament
command of God to exterminate the Canaanite population and what that implies
about continuity between the Old and New Testaments. The four points of view presented on the continuity of the Testaments are:
* Strong Discontinuity --C . S. Cowles * Moderate Discontinuity --Eugene H.
Merrill * piritual Continuity --Tremper Longman III * Eschatological Continuity
--Daniel L. Gard Discusses various contemporary views held by evangelicals on God's command
to the Israelites to destroy utterly the Canaanites and how each view sees the
relationship between this God of the Israelites and the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has commanded us to love our enemies.
