Are you confused about Theonomy? Interested in Christian Reconstructionism but not sure what it is really all about? Need a balanced appraisal of this movement from a Reformed perspective? Tired of controversy and polemics that range from hatchet jobs on Reconstructionists to fervent defenses of their most radical conclusions? If any or all of the above apply to you will benefit from this book.
The book is written by a Presbyterian minister who is not a Theonomist, but is familiar with the movement and well read in its literature. He likes much of what they have to offer and gives them credit where credit is due. However he also clearly points out where they have departed from the historic understandings of the Reformed faith and where he believes them to be in error. In short it is a friendly but critical review with a thorough analysis of their positions and conclusions on a wide scope of issues.
