In this video, we listen to an excerpt of a debate in which Paul Copan is asked directly about the killing of children as referenced in the slaughter of all the residents of Jericho, men and women, young and old (Joshua 6:21). Rather than address directly the ethics of slaughtering children and infants, Copan deflects from the question by raising other issues pertaining to hyperbole, driving out language, and the goal of eradicating Canaanite culture.
