How to read the Bible when God is bad. An interview with John Dominic Crossan.
In my second series of three on the Bible, world-renowned scholar on the historical Jesus, John Dominic Crossan returns to Religion For Life, to address one of the most troubling aspects of the Bible, the violence of God.   How do we read and trust a book whose main character, God, is less ethical than most humans?   His latest book is How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian:  Struggling With Divine Violence from Genesis through Revelation.
