#33 Randal Rauser - God and Genocide - Critical Witness
Does command command genocide? Does Jesus love the Canaanites (those cleared out by Joshua's conquests for the promised land)? We're talking with Randal Rauser who has debated on this topic and authored (and is authoring) books discussing this topic.
"Randal Rauser is a systematic and analytic theologian of evangelical persuasion. He is driven by apologetic concerns and above all by the tireless pursuit of truth. The downside is that this requires him to recognize when he is wrong (which is often) for truth is complex and it offers us no guarantees that we shall always find it. At the same time, Randal does not despair of finding truth, for he believes that in a profound sense Jesus Christ is the truth.
For Randal, being like Jesus means knowing the truth, loving the truth, and living the truth. As Randal seeks to live the truth he promotes a culture of life that is anti-militaristic and pro-family, pro-environment and anti-abortion, anti-consumerist and pro-animal. A disciple on the way … alas, he is not half as smart or as good or as right as he thinks he is." Read more at https://randalrauser.com/about/

--- About the channel ---
Dan and Phil are mates who like talking apologetics, philosophy, ethics and theology. They interview Christians who are evangelists, authors, scientists, apologists, comedians or simply interested in talking about big topics. In the future, we're looking to interview people from other faiths and atheists in a non-confrontational format.
We put all interviews on a podcast. We aim to update the podcast every other week:

If long form interviews aren't your thing and you just want short, digestible videos, subscribe for our #shortconvos from our longer conversations that come when we have time.
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Insta and let us know what you think of the conversations.

Finally we're looking to feature other writings on our website. If you write on the topics above get in touch!
