Do the Old Testament “holy wars” endorse a kind of genocide? In what ways, if any, do they differ from Islamic Jihad?

In this lecture, Dr. Bob Gonzales discusses the ethical challenge the Old Testament holy wars present to the modern day believer, and he offers a defense of their inclusion in sacred Scripture.
