This book investigates the scriptural positions on Christian self-defense and civil disobedience, addressing controversial viewpoints within Christianity. Larry Fox, an educator with over thirty years of experience, draws upon his background in engineering, management, and Bible studies to explore these complex ethical issues. The study aims to provide clear, biblically-grounded guidelines for Christians facing personal danger or conflict with governmental authority, examining how godly character and life purpose should inform responses to threats and unjust laws. The author's conclusions on acceptable defensive measures and the parameters of obedience to government are presented as potentially surprising.

The book aims to provide a thorough, scripturally-based examination of two contentious topics within Christian ethics: self-defense and civil disobedience. By posing direct questions and promising potentially surprising conclusions, the author seeks to engage readers in a deep study of biblical principles. The author's extensive teaching and writing experience in Christian seminars suggests a structured and didactic approach to the material. The work is framed as a guide for Christians seeking spiritual maturity and clarity on these complex moral issues.
