Genocide in Canaan? (Part 3)
Digging for Truth

26m
According to the Old Testament, the Israelites were instructed by the LORD to wage war upon the people living in Canaan, to make no treaty with them, to show them no mercy. Skeptics claim that this makes the God of the Bible a genocidal maniac and killer, unworthy of our devotion. Is God a moral monster? Did God commit “genocide” in Canaan? Dr. Jordan Ballard, an expert on this subject, joins Henry Smith to carefully examine the Conquest narratives of Joshua and other biblical teaching which bears on the subject. (Part 3 of 3).
