Apologist Interview: Paul Copan – Is God a Moral Monster?

Today’s interview is with Christian apologist and philosopher Paul Copan. This is my second interview with Paul – the first covered a number of different topics for apologists — but today’s interview focuses on his recent book entitled: Is God a Moral Monster? Making sense of the Old Testament God. He explores the questions of the “mean” Old Testament God, is God proud and jealous, Abraham being commanded to sacrifice Isaac, challenging Old Testament laws, slavery, and the judgement of the Canaanites.
