In the great DRC tradition, I am happy to announce that next week we will begin a discussion of DRC editor/contributor Brad Birzer’s new book American Cicero: The Life of Charles Carroll. Brad’s excellent biography of the forgotten Founding Father is published by ISI as part of their lives of the founders series. If you [...]

Hi Bill, Thanks for your excellent posts as well as Kevin’s. This is a fruitful and necessary discussion. For better or worse–as I sit here giving my final final of the semester (the students look somewhat frazzled)–I don’t have anything to contribute on the nature of evil. At least at the moment, but I do [...]
Re: Adam and Evil

Kevin asks about the origins of evil. The mystery of evil is ultimately inscrutable. Kevin suggests that answer if found in Adam’s free will. I agree that Adam’s will was free, however I do not believe this takes away the difficulty. The Bible, and Christian tradition, affirm that Adam was made in the image of [...]
Adam and evil

What I see in the pages of posts and comments on DRC—and certainly in Bill’s posting from May 2nd—are the words of committed Christians striving to follow their Savior.

The work has been fun and, in many ways fulfilling. The work has made the transition far less painful than [...]

Is the natural law enough? The natural law is, in many ways, synonymous with the moral law, however the moral law is far broader and deeper than what the natural law tells us. The natural law includes the 1st and 2nd commandments. Paul’s letter to the Romans tells us that all men know something about [...]
The Moral Law and the Body Politic
Posted in Two Kingdoms, Uncategorized on April 25, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Before we begin to explore the application of the commandments to the civil realm, it is important that we begin by setting down some words of caution. First, we must recognize that the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura does not apply beyond the holy realm of the Kingdom of God. In other words, the Church [...]
The 1st and 2nd Commandments and the Body Politic

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in [...]
