Description

“Killing No Murder” explores justified treason against any tyrant of any age. It clearly lays out the duty of any God-fearing person: What should you do living under a tyrant? What is your duty under a would-be tyrant?

The subtitle, “In Three Questions” lays out the premise of this important work which both asks and answers three vital questions:

  1. What is a tyrant?
  2. Is it honorable to kill a tyrant?
  3. Will the outcome of killing a tyrant be beneficial to the people?

This book shaped the thinking of patriots for generations, forgotten, must be brought to the forefront once again. Originally published in 1657, and with most published editions that we have found being merely photocopies of editions over two hundred years old, we felt that it was important to provide a new edition using modern typeset to make it easier to read for the modern reader, while preserving the original wording and spelling.

Format: paperback, 72 pages.
