I began writing this book one month ago today: December 26, 2020. I am now at 85,000 words and hope to finish the final two chapters in the next ten days or so. My special contribution to this debate is captured in my subtitle: “Biblical Genocide in the Light of Moral Intuition“. (I will announce the title later.)
Here are the chapter titles (which, as with all else, is still as yet subject to revision):
Foreword: There is No Magic Key
Introduction: The Blood-Soaked Soil of Canaan
Chapter 1: Killing the Joneses
Chapter 2: Joshua and the International Criminal Court
Chapter 3: Taming a Dangerous Text
Chapter 4: Moral Intuition and Moral Reasoning
Chapter 5: Moral Knowledge through Intimate Acquaintance
Chapter 6: Scenes from a Genocide: On the Canaanites of Central Africa
Chapter 7: Interpreting the Bible: Five Guiding Principles
Chapter 8: The Genocide Apologists
Chapter 9: The Just War Interpreters
Chapter 10: The Spiritualizers
Chapter 11: The Providential Errantists
Chapter 12: Why is it all so complicated?
