On July 29, 1994, Paul J. Hill, at one time an OPC pastor, shot an abortionist, his wife, and their bodyguard. The abortionist and the bodyguard both died.
Hill had been arguing for years that such action was biblical, and had been excommunicated for making his arguments publicly. In Lone Gunners for Jesus: Letters to Paul J. Hill , written after the shooting, Gary North responded to Hill, explaining how his actions weren’t biblical or effective because:
- Hill was never called to be judge and jury and God doesn’t endorse vigilante justice,
- Hill’s acts only moved the public in a pro-choice direction costing more unborn lives,
- and while we are called to a public witness against the slaughter of the unborn, non-violent resistance – being beaten rather than being the beater – is the better witness.
This slim volume is an important book to calm Christian whose love for the unborn is in danger of being misdirected, but it is also a good read for those who, whether in ignorance or a lack of compassion, don’t stand up for the unborn at all.
