Re: Rehabilitating Theonomy
Peter J. Leithart
Bill Chellis raises some large and important issues in his first post on “Rehabilitating Theonomy.” I look forward to future installments.

Rehabilitating Theonomy (I)
W.H. Chellis

Theonomy is simple (the Bible is made the sufficient standard for law and politics) and objective (Israel’s theocratic civil law is applied to all nations at all times).

Small is Still Beautiful
W.H. Chellis
There are times when the Reformed Presbyterian Testimony is down right beautiful. In chapter 4.11 it wisely declares, “The Scriptures teach that everything belongs to God; that the authority and power to obtain and use goods are given by God; and that men are to seek God’s glory in the use [...]
