Restoration and Divine Violence in the Old Testament

The author says restoration scripture distils the problem of divine violence into its most potent form. In third nephi eight, nine, where prior to jesus is resurrection and appearance,. i there's massive destruction. And in third nephi nint, whole cities burned and buried and drowned. So ours is a god who destroys as well as creates. But whenever he talks about himself, he talks about, he's a god of light and life and love.
