The Center for Philosophy of Religion at the  University  of  Notre  Dame presents a conference entitled

My Ways Are Not Your Ways: The Character of the God of the Hebrew Bible

Theme: The conference will focus on the charge that the Abrahamic religious traditions should be rejected because of their foundation in the Hebrew Bible, which allegedly portrays God as immoral and vicious.  The presenters and commentators will include philosophers—both theistic and nontheistic—as well as Biblical scholars.
