Series: What is Catholicism? – “The Old Testament”

The Old Testament can be unsettling. The popular atheist Richard Dawkins even described the God of the Old Testament as “a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser.” Does Dawkins have it right? How have Jews and Christians interpreted the sometimes bizarre depictions of God in the Old Testament? What are we to make of what Pope Benedict XVI called the “dark passages of the Bible”? Talk will be given by Anthony Rosselli.
