How should Christians interpret passages of scripture that violate our most basic moral intuitions? Passages like Deuteronomy 7, 20, and Joshua 1-12 that portray God as commanding and aiding the Israelites to brutally annihilate the Canaanites, young and old, men and women. Dr. Randal Rauser recently authored what I consider to be the best book on this topic, "Jesus Loves Canaanites". In this interview we summarize the major points of the book, focusing specifically on Rauser's critique of Dr. Paul Copan's and Dr. Matthew Flannagan's arguments, and Rauser's defense of what he calls "Providential Errancy."
