Does anyone know if the issues of \"biblical genocide\" such as recorded in 1 Sam. 15 has ever been addressed be the Church Fathers? Has the Church spoken on how to reconcile the idea that God (who is all loving and merciful) commanded His people to annihilate a whole group of people, including women, children, and infants? What could infants have possibly done to have deserved such a pronouncement of judgment? Please note that I am not looking for private opinions. I had enough of those as a Protestant. I would like to know if the Church has spoken with one voice about these things.
