Theme: Author Day: Protecting Our Rights Through The Written Word / How Mighty Is The Pen
Hour #1 Guests:
John Marshall, Author of “101 Classic Firearms” & Blue Press Contributor, discussing the beauty & history of firearms
Greg Hopkins, Author of “A Time To Kill: The Myth Of Christian Pacifism”, Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective. Defense attorney, prosecutor, and former judge, as well as a practicing weapons instructor, expert witness, and Bible teacher, Greg Hopkins is highly qualified to address these controversial topics. Greg Hopkins’ book, A Time To Kill: The Myth of Christian Pacifism, argues that the Bible does not teach pacifist principles as a moral response to criminal assault but in fact, teaches just the opposite in both Old and New Testaments, praising soldiers and law enforcement on numerous occasions and giving civilians explicit permission to use deadly force in life-threatening situations. Hopkins uses Scripture to demonstrate that the Bible commands Christians to be good stewards, prepared to protect self and the innocent from hostile attack. A Time To Kill: The Myth of Christian Pacifism includes chapters about preparation for self defense, laws that govern self defense, understanding how criminals think, recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), biblical appraisals of military and police, arguments on criminal punishment, the death penalty, and much more.
