In two previous posts (Part 1 and Part 2), I’ve been reflecting on the notion of “righteous deception” in Scripture and considering whether there is any legitimacy to it. While Christian theologians and ethicists don’t (and won’t) agree on how to answer that question, there are some objections that the “deception is always wrong” group have made and that the “deception can be legitimate and not sinful” group must answer.
