Summary

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden discuss Christian pacifism. A recent debate panel from The Gospel Coalition has sparked a lot of conversation about Christians engaging in self-defense or being pacifists. What does Scripture has to say about the sanctity and defense of life? Should Christians bear arms? Is there ever a time a lay down your life? They discuss all this and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Sword and the Trial.
0:10.0	The Sword and the Trial's podcast of Founders Ministries and Founders
0:12.9	Exists for the Recovery of the Gospel and the Reformation of Local Churches.
0:17.2	I'm Tom Askell.
0:18.1	And I'm Graham Gundon.
0:19.1	Good to have you with us again today as we look forward to
0:21.6	having another conversation thinking from the scripture to our life situations and trying to sort
0:27.7	out the best ways to apply God's word to those situations. And today we wanted to have a conversation
0:33.6	about pacifism. But before we do, we want to remind you about a couple of things that are coming up.
0:39.4	So if you haven't been keeping up or if you have, we just want to remind you that the Institute of Public Theology is about to launch its second year.
0:47.7	So our fall classes begin in just a couple of weeks. Actually, I guess it's next week, beginning on the 8th of August, we have Ben Dunson here
0:56.1	to teach on public, no, not public theology, political theology, which Graham and I were talking
1:02.0	earlier, and this is an area that Baptists need to develop rigorously and quickly. We're
1:08.6	behind the ball on this, and we're looking forward to having Dr.
1:11.9	Dunson, who is the head of the American reformer, come and challenge us from Scripture and
1:17.2	instruct us about this. So this is a great opportunity. If you would like to listen to those
1:21.7	lectures, you can do so by becoming an auditor. They will be live streamed for auditors.
1:26.7	Just go to the Institute of
1:27.7	Public Theology.org. You get more information on that. Then the week after, we've got
1:33.3	Richard Barcellus here. And Dr. Barcellus will be teaching a course on hermeneutics,
1:38.8	which is kind of his sweet spot. Rich has worked through a lot of the issues over many, many years now, I could say
1:44.7	decades now in trying to refine and think carefully about how we approach the scriptures.
