Overview of Crucifixion of the Warrior God
Greg reviewed the content of his new book, Crucifixion of the Warrior God, as a part of the Woodland Hills Church Covenant Partner gathering on March 5, 2017. If you want a fairly succinct synopsis of the thesis of his book, look no further.
Ten years ago, Greg set out to write a book justifying the violent portraits of God in the Old Testament.

The two-volume academic work is set to release next month, and the popular version (Cross Vision) will be coming out in August.
