À propos de ce contenu audio
The Old Testament is filled with stories that depict God as one who demands and even commits horrifying acts of violence. The New Testament tells us that when we’ve seen Jesus, we’ve seen God—and yet Jesus never demands or commits acts of violence. How do we make sense of this?
Using Open and Relational Theology, Unblaming God presents alternative interpretations to four Old Testament stories—Noah and the Flood, God “telling” Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, Canaanite genocide, and the book of Job. These new interpretations better reflect God as love, not as a God of control.
Digging into the cultural and theological worldview of biblical times, Deanna Young shows that these stories tell us more about the culture than about God, while still emphasizing the value of each story and their relevance to our modern lives.
In these stories, the author resolves the apparent contradictions that exist between the portrayal of God in the Old Testament and the portrayal of God in the New Testament. She unblames God.
