Book excerpt: Thy Rod and Thy Staff They Comfort Me: BOOK IIThe Book of Hebrews and the Corporal Punishment of Children in the Christian Context A New Book by Samuel MartinThis book has been 14 years in the making. Samuel Martin returns with his second volume in the series "Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me." This second book is a follow up to his first book 'Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me: Christians and the Spanking Controversy." (published in 2006) That first book was not sold but was given away on numerous sites on the Web and continues to be available for free. (see www.biblechild.com) A hard copy version is available. (see the author's Amazon page - https: //www.amazon.com/Samuel-Martin/e/B00HP94ZZA/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1)This new book promises to be a welcomed addition to the series turning its attention to the New Testament book of Hebrews chapter 12:5-11, which is a key text quoted by many Christians today in their belief in corporal punishment. Samuel Martin further strengthens an already compelling case against corporal punishment in this new book.

He comes to similar conclusions that I do regarding the spanking controversy." - Professor William Webb, Adjunct Professor of Biblical Studies, Tyndale Seminary, Canada and author of the book "Corporal Punishment in the Bible: A Redepemtive Movement Hermeneutic for Troubling Texts" (InterVarsity, 2011)"I think you present a well crafted argument." - Pastor Crystal Lutton, author of "Biblical Parenting""a very provocative and stimulating perspective of Hebrews." - Clay Clarkson, author of "Heartfelt Discipline: Following God's Path of Life to the Heart of Your Child."
