Matt has safely arrived in Atlanta and I thinks he has forgiven me for his hotel (we did not realise just how really bad, and somewhat entertaining, the Trip Advisor reviews were until just before he left).
The first day of the Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Philosophical and Theological Societies is underway. His book “Did God Really Command the Genocide of the Caananites?” is on sale and he tells me he has been asked to be the speaker at the Evangelical Philosophical Society reception tonight at 8:30pm at the Hilton – Grand Salon C.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
Excited for him!
I’m here at Johnsons Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta (suburb of Atlanta) and Matthew will be speaking momentarily. “Morality and God’s Commandments” is the lecture. I’m looking FWD to it.
