Publisher Description:

This book is about decisions. Not the everyday kind such as "What should I wear today?" or "Where shall we eat tonight?" but decisions that deal with life, death, and protecting the innocent. Self defense is not only about individual survival; self defense can also decide the fate of a nation and all its citizens."A Time to Kill: The Myth of Christian Pacifism" answers questions such as: Do federal, state, and local laws allow citizens to defend themselves against criminal attack?What means are available for self defense?What strategies should one use to avoid potential conflict. Can Christians defend themselves against Islamic extremists?Is pacifism in the Bible?Do the Gospels say Jesus was a pacifist?What if God commands us to use deadly force to defend the innocent?How do Jesus and the New Testament writers feel about the military?What does the Bible say about the death penalty?Can Christians sit on juries and vote for the death penalty?Can Jesus' teachings help soldiers with combat-induced PTSD?Does the Bible have a consistent message about self-defense from the Old Testament to the New?"
