During World War II the Nazis would go door to door looking for Jews who were in hiding. People were asked if they were hiding Jews. If you told the truth the Jews would be taken away and put to death. If you lied they may have remained safe and you may have saved their lives. This was the scenario put forward on a Christian radio talk show one afternoon. I called in and debated with the host. 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."
