“Religion, the fear of God, must therefore be the element which inspires and animates all theological investigation. That must be the pulsebeat of the science. A theologian is a person who makes bold to speak about God because he speaks out of God and through God. To profess theology is to do holy work. It is a priestly ministration in the house of the Lord. It is itself a service of worship,…
How can God be morally good if he commands apparently evil actions-for example, the extermination of the Canaanites? This booklet explores this important Old Testament topic.
