Many Christians believe it is right to lie in order to save a life. Others believe it is right to lie if the person asking for information does not have a moral right to that information. How do we make sense of these arguments while remaining faithful to biblical standards?While driving home one afternoon, listening to a popular Christian radio talk show, I heard the host ask a controversial question. Putting yourself back in World War II and presuming that you were hiding Jews from the Nazis, the question was this: If the Nazis came to your door and asked you if you were hiding any Jews, would you tell the truth or would you lie?I called in and spoke with the host for several minutes. This book is the result of that conversation. This book examines, from a biblical perspective, whether or not it is right to lie when faced with a life or death situation such as this. I call this situation the Nazi Dilemma.
