Under the sway of materialism and science, we have been left with a way of seeing, thinking, and living that has no place for beauty and wonder.

Critics outside the church often accuse the Old Testament God of genocide, racism, ethnic cleansing, and violence. But a rising tide of critics within the church claim that Moses and other "primitive," violence-prone prophets were mistaken about God's commands and character.
