Christian scholar Thom Stark has written a book-length rebuttal to Christian philosopher Paul Copan's book, Is God a Moral Monster? (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2011). The title of Stark's book is, Is God a Moral Compromiser? A Critical Review of Paul Copan's "Is God a Moral Monster?" (second ed.). Stark's entire book is available for free as a PDF file on his website.
Observant readers will notice I included a "new atheism" label on this post, insofar as the new atheists criticize the morality of the actions attributed to God by the Bible and insofar as Copan's book is partially a response to those criticisms.
