5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly devastating, April 25, 2002

By

This review is from: Lone Gunners for Jesus: Letters to Paul J. Hill (Paperback)

In this book, Dr. Gary North sternly refutes the murderous philosophy of Paul J. Hill in the scholarly but uncompromising manner for which he is so loved. His position is well defined Biblically and stands on a rock-hard judicial foundation. This book is an absolute must for any Christian that has believed, even for a moment, that Hill's position was misguided but understandable.

5.0 out of 5 stars STRONG ANTIDOTE AGAINST HUMANISTIC AUTONOMY, May 19, 2002

This review is from: Lone Gunners for Jesus: Letters to Paul J. Hill (Paperback)

I have had several discussions with Paul Hill at Florida State Prison. I was very sympathetic to his philosophy of "defending the unborn" through the use of force. However, after reading North's refutation of Paul Hill's philosophy I can no longer subscribe to the philosophy of defensive force as espoused by Hill. North does such an excellent job of showing the Scriptural context of the various passages that Paul uses to defend his position that you cannot help but to see that using violence against abortion "doctors" has no support in Scripture. He further demonstrates that such violence actually hurts the cause of pro-life. One more thing about North's work is that after you have read his work you walk away with a much greater reverence for God and His ordained societal hierachies. Paul Hill's position paper on defensive force leaves you with little regard for God's appointed authorities-- which of course is anarchical and thus anti-Biblical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Fight Evil with Evil, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lone Gunners for Jesus: Letters to Paul J. Hill (Paperback)

Dr. North clearly refutes the idea that violence against abortionists by individuals claiming to be pro-life is in any way justified biblicly. His argument makes it clear that violent actions such as this only hurt the pro-life cause.
