It reviews the New Atheists movement, asking who are the new atheists and their view on the New Atheists and the Old Testament God. It explores whether God is a merciful master or moral monster, examining if he has an insatiable appetite for sacrifices and praise, monumental wrath or kingly jealousy, and child abuse and bullying. Discussing life in the ancient Near East and in Israel, it addresses God’s timeless wisdom, the sheer strangeness of biblical teachings, barbarism, cruel laws, a misogynistic God, the dowry, trafficking humans like beasts, total massacre and ethnic cleansing, and if religion is the root of all evil. Focusing on the moral side, it asks if morals exist without a divine lawgiver and have we outgrown this God, aiming to reach convincing answers through patience, love, and humility.
