Jul 10, 2023
Why does the Old Testament portray God as fierce while the New Testament emphasizes love? The conversation explores divine judgment, Greg Boyd’s cruciform reading of Scripture, and troubling stories involving the Ark of the Covenant and Ananias and Sapphira. It also wrestles with evil, mercy, and whether God’s actions across the Bible can be understood as one coherent story.
