There's a Noah movie coming out next month, filled with stars like Russell Crowe, Anthony Hopkins, and Emma Watson. In some of the pre-publicity interviews, Crowe has been quoted as saying that he did not see Noah as a good person at all, because he let all those people die. (This misses the characterization of Noah as a "preacher of righteousness"--which suggests that he warned people, but they did not listen).
This problem points to something about the story of Noah, which despite being one of the most well-known stories in the Bible, remains one of the most difficult. This is not a "cute" story for children. It is a story about God's judgment with a tremendous amount of death.
So what do we learn about the judgment of God in this story?
