"...There was an evolution in the Old Testament. There are some awful things there. It developed the notion of God, was purified as it went through the Old Testament." Cardinal George Pell of Sydney, Australia. Quote is from a YouTube video regarding a question and answer session between Richard Dawkins and the Cardinal.
The concept that he notion of God was purified/evolved throughout the Old Testament is new to me. Is this just the Cardinal's personal opinion? Is it dogma or at least taught by the Magisterium?
Could somebody give an example of the notion of God evolving in the Old Testament?
