Madeleine Flannagan
Madeleine Flannagan holds an LLB (Bachelor of Laws) from the University of Auckland.
Her research interests lie in jurisprudence, philosophy of law, ethics and rights and freedoms law – particularly the role of the state and the place of religion in public life.
Madeleine is a former Vice-President of the University of Waikato Students Union. Over the years, she has been involved in both the running and leadership of campus groups and various charitable organisations. She presently sits on the boards of various charities and offers pro-bono legal advice to them.
She is married to Matt, with whom she writes for MandM, although she has less time for that these days! In her spare time, she is with her horses.
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.
