- Introduction: Apologetic, not Apology
- 1. What does the Bible mean when it says that God created the world?
- 2. If God really gave the promised land to just one race and helped them get rid of the original inhabitants, does this mean God condones ethnic cleansing?
- 3. Is it fair to say that the Old Testament sees no distinction between religion and politics?
- 4. How does the Old Testament prophesy the end of the world?
- 5. Could the Old Testament be of any help to someone who is suffering?
- 6. Can the Old Testament worship texts make a contribution to church life and understanding today?
- 7. Is there any point in reading Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah?
- 8. Does the Old Testament have anything to say about being a good person?
- Postscript: What are you not telling me?
