Ep. 8: Christian Approaches to the Crisis of Violence

Apr 21, 2023
31:34

Violence in the world is nothing new, but recent events in the United States involving mass shooters highlight that this is a problem that isn't going away. While politicians often jump to what they see as simple solutions, Joseph Backholm talks with philosophy Professor Mike Austin, author of "God and Guns in America," about ways Christians might approach this biblically. They explore how Christians have approached guns, self-defense, and related policies, and how we need to first seek to look biblically before we look pragmatically.
