Did God really command genocide in the Bible?
In this intense discussion, Dr. Joshua Bowen breaks down one of the most controversial passages in scripture—1 Samuel 15.
👉 Why does God command Saul to destroy the Amalekites—men, women, children, and even animals?
👉 Is this meant to be taken literally… or is it hyperbole?
👉 And why is Saul punished—not for killing—but for not killing enough?
This conversation dives deep into the historical context of the Ancient Near East, the concept of the “ban” (ḥerem), and how ancient societies understood total destruction.
But here’s the real challenge:
Can modern readers accept what the text actually says… without softening it?
This episode confronts difficult questions about morality, interpretation, and how we read ancient religious texts today.
