Any good rebuttal to "Is God a Moral Monster" by Paul Copan available?

Hi guys.

I am reading Paul Copan's book "Is God a Moral Monster?". He is a Christian apologetic that tries to defend all those disgusting verses from the old testament such as slavery, genocide, infant killing, raping and so on.

I am so startled by how far he goes to defend all the atrocities done in the name of Yahweh that it makes me think that Paul Copan (and whoever agrees with him) are the real moral monsters!

I was wondering if any of you know any good rebuttal to his book. All I could find was a blog post on infidels.org (which is nice, btw). Link: https://infidels.org/library/modern/craig_vander_hart/god-a-monster.html.

I am also thinking in, after finishing my reading, maybe to start a series of topics in this forum on this book. Perhaps grouping it by chapters. What do you think?

It’s honestly disturbing how easily some apologists can rationalize things like genocide and slavery when it's in a religious context. I totally support the idea of a chapter-by-chapter discussion—there’s a lot to unpack in each section, and having a forum to critically analyze it would be valuable. https://retro-bowl25.org/
Have you also looked into Thom Stark’s Is God a Moral Compromiser? It’s a direct response to Copan, and many consider it one of the best rebuttals out there. He really dives into the biblical scholarship and challenges Copan’s selective use of sources.

A good rebuttal to Paul Copan

A good rebuttal to Paul Copan's "Is God a Moral Monster?" is Craig Vander Hart's blog post on infidels.org, which you already found. You could also search for critical reviews of the book online. Starting a discussion series on Copan's book chapter by chapter on this forum sounds like a great idea to explore these issues in detail with others.
