When you encounter the violent stories in Scripture, does your view of God become shaken? Dr. Matthew Lynch, an expert in Old Testament studies, challenges the common assumptions with profound insights rooted in biblical theology and ancient Near Eastern context. He reveals how understanding God's original peaceful design for creation and His grief over violence reshape our interpretations—and deepen our trust in His character.
