Gun Theology: Faith, Firearms, and the Battle for Belief

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Gun Theology: Faith, Ethics, and the Controversies of Firearms delves into one of the most polarizing issues facing American Christianity today—the complex relationship between faith and firearms. In this thought-provoking book, Vincent Froom explores the cultural, theological, and ethical dimensions of gun ownership, self-defense, and violence through a distinctly Christian lens. How does the gospel’s call to be peacemakers align—or clash—with the right to protect oneself and one’s family? Can Christians support gun rights while also advocating for stricter gun safety measures? And how can religious communities foster understanding and reconciliation amid heated debates on gun policy? With a balanced and compassionate approach, Gun Theology brings together scriptural insights, historical perspectives, and real-world case studies to examine both sides of the gun debate within Christianity. From the ethical tension between self-defense and nonviolence to the racial and gender dynamics of gun culture, this book challenges readers to rethink conventional stances and engage in meaningful dialogue. Designed for pastors, theologians, activists, and everyday Christians, Gun Theology provides practical tools for fostering empathy, building trust, and advocating for just and effective gun policies. It is a call to action for those seeking to uphold the sanctity of life while navigating the complexities of contemporary gun issues. Whether you’re a gun owner, gun control advocate, or simply someone looking to better understand this pressing topic, Gun Theology invites you to explore how faith can inform a more nuanced and transformative approach to one of today’s most controversial debates.
