The Rule-Out method of criminal defense, easily learned, gets most jurors to want to decide verdicts based solely on reasonable doubts -- which, perhaps unexpectedly, few jurors normally do on their own no matter how you explain it. Instead, most convictions result from burden shifting, the usual demand by jurors that the defense attorney prove innocence.

Is God a tyrant? No - not at all! Does he uphold truth, love and human freedom? Yes, absolutely! ‘God and the Crisis of Power’ shows us, from the Bible, how God always deploys his power for our good, in ways that are motivated by love and that offer us liberation rather than oppression. It also examines how these principles should apply to Christian participation in the public square. ‘God and the Crisis of Power’ explores the moral ambiguity of the concept of power, and the potentially pr...
