Videos tagged with Moral Justification of Force

This video explores the historical and theological underpinnings of self-defense and military action within the Judeo-Christian tradition, drawing heavily on David Kopel's book. It argues that the tradition supports the use of force to defend innocent lives and resist tyrannical government, tracing these ideas from the Old and New Testaments through Western political thought and the American Founding. The discussion highlights the moral justification for self-defense and the right of the people to alter or abolish governments that rule against the common good.
