I have to thank my brother Paul for letting me know about this. His pastor Greg Boyd has been writing in his blog about the violence of the Old Testament and how we reconcile it with the teachings of Jesus and the nature of God. I must admit this is a topic I have briefly contemplated many times, but have never taken the tame to examine. This is some mental heavy lifting and I do not have the expertise to offer distinguished commentary, so I will refrain from even trying. But I will say that the more we are willing to wrestle with our faith and ask questions, the better. On some ancillary matters, I cannot agree with Boyd. But on the whole, I appreciate his willingness to think about Christianity and worship God with his mind, and he makes me want to do the same.
