Countering Christian Apologists on the Canaanite Slaughter | #12 Dr. Randal Rauser

Dr. Randal Rauser lays out the case against attempts to defend a literal interpretation of the biblical passages surrounding the slaughter of the Canaanites. We discuss the purported moral difference between slaughter and driving a people group from their homes, hyperbole in the Ancient Near East, and what a Christian is to do if they believe that a literal reading of the Canaanite conquest narratives cannot be correct.
