Description: The issue of gun control and 2nd Amendment rights is one of the most intractable, polarizing topics in contemporary America. Because it is such a partisan issue, many Christians naturally view the topic through that lens. But is there a Christian lens through which to evaluate the debate? If Christian ethics are brought to bear on the issue, what is the more biblical position? More restrictive gun control or more individual freedom to bear arms? These and related questions are addressed in this debate between Bob Thune and Andrew Wilson. Thune and Wilson share their respective arguments and engage in a discussion moderated by Jim Davis, teaching pastor at Orlando Grace Church. This debate is part of TGC’s “Good Faith Debates” series. When we keep the gospel central, we can disagree on lesser but still important matters in good faith. In The Good Faith Debates, we hope to model this—showing that it’s possible for two Christians united around the gospel to engage in charitable conversation even amid substantive disagreement. thegospelcoalition.org/series/good-faith-debates #christianity #bible #gospel #guncontrol #weapons
