520 _a"Respected OT scholar addresses the four most controversial issues in the Old Testament--creation and evolution, violence, historicity, and sexuality--offering a valuable resource for evaluating difficult topics in depth and responding as Christians"--
520 _aFor many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes--ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to modern audiences, particularly young people in the church: the creation/evolution debate, God-ordained violence, the historicity of people, places, and events, and human sexuality. Pastors, leaders in the church, and thoughtful and troubled Christians in the pews will find here a well-reasoned and faithful approach to dealing with the Old Testament passages so many find challenging or disconcerting. -- ‡c From publisher's description.
