Dr. Longman discusses the creation story in terms of genre, interpretation, theology, history, science, evolution, and Adam's historicity. We then cover the historicity of the exodus and conquest in regard to various views, genre, interpretation, and archeology. We then move onto OT violence, particularly the conquest of Canaan. Longman examines the views of Copan and Boyd and considers suffering, wrath, judgment, sin, and moral trajectory. We finish up with homosexuality, considering the biblical data, interpretation, and objections to the traditional view.
