Apologetics315 Podcast - Old Testament Violence with Christopher Cloos

 

In this interview, I chat with Dr. Christopher Cloos of the Christian Philosophy Academy about challenging Old Testament violence texts and his recent debate with theologian Randal Rauser.  We explore the complexities of interpreting these texts, the role of moral intuition, and the contrasting views of covenant virtue ethics and providential errancy theory.

Our conversation delves into how moral intuitions can inform biblical interpretation while also addressing the potential pitfalls of subjectivity in understanding scripture.

We also explore how moral intuition can be used to interpret scripture, the implications of difficult passages, and the importance of engaging with differing views charitably.

Finally, we highlight resources for further learning in this area.

Enjoy!

Courage and Godspeed,
Chad
