Episode 341 - Taking the Church Fathers Out of Context

Our newest book "Duty to Defend: Volume 2" addresses Bible verses that are used without context in the gun-rights debate. In response to the book's announcement, Facebook user Jason decided to respond by taking quotes from the early church fathers out of context. Lloyd and the Padre discuss the early church fathers, the context of their writings, and the quotes that Jason provided us from Justin Martyr, St. Irenaeus, and St. Athanasius.
