Last week we talked about reading the Bible as if God is the main character of all the stories, poems, letters, histories, etc. in order to grasp his nature and character. Well what do we do when reading that way makes God look like a bloodthirsty tyrant? Are we wrong? How do we know? In this episode we use the analogy of the plot twist in mystery novels to explain how it can be that the God who orders Canaanite genocide is Love, the Father of Jesus Christ and that this doesn't force us to ignore or overturn difficult or strange readings. In the end, God is Love from beginning to end, we just need to read with the plot twist in mind to see how.
