Published: April 3, 2024, 10:10 a.m.

SOME OF THE MOST epic stories from the ancient world deal with the wars of the gods. It\u2019s not a coincidence that one of the most commonly used titles for God in the Bible is \u201cLord of Hosts,\u201d which literally means \u201cYahweh of Armies.\u201d Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of\xa0Giants: Sons of the Gods,\xa0Dr. Judd Burton(www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of\xa0Interview With the Giant, and\xa0Brian Godawa\xa0(www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel\xa0Cruel Logic, join us to discuss warrior gods of the ancient world like Ares/Mars, Inanna/Ishtar, Baal/Zeus/Jupiter, and the violent old gods the Titans, and how their motives differ from those of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.\xa0We also talk about how we Christians, believing in a loving God who\u2019s willing to forgive those who repent and accept Him as Lord, can reconcile the image of Jesus as the suffering servant with the depiction of Yahweh the warrior.
