By Charl van Wyk
What would you do if armed terrorists broke into your church and starting attacking your friends with automatic weapons in the middle of a worship service? Would you be prepared to defend yourself and other innocents? Would you be justified in doing so?
In "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defense," van Wyk makes a biblical, Christian case for individuals arming themselves with guns, and does so more persuasively than perhaps any other author because he found himself in a church attacked by terrorists.
But van Wyk was not defenseless that day. Had he been unarmed like the other congregants, the slaughter would have been much worse.
During that Sunday evening service, the terrorists killed 11 and wounded 58. But the fact that one man – van Wyk – fired back, wounding one of the attackers and driving the others away.
His book deals with burning questions that plague all conscience-driven people:
• Should we carry arms?
• When is it appropriate to defend ourselves and our families?
• What can we do when our freedom to carry arms is legislated away from us?
Using the Bible as his guidepost, van Wyk makes the case that Christians not only have the right but the duty to defend themselves and other innocents from such aggression.
