Alexander Campbell on Matthew 5 – A Critique
Alexander Campbell misread Matthew 5, and misread it badly, in a debate. A close examination of this case yields helpful observations for Christians in their quest to understand the Bible, whether or not they are committed to any written creeds.

“Theonomy: A Reformed Critique”: Part 2, Tremper Longman III: “God’s Law and Mosaic Punishments Today”
After Knudeson’s almost-invisible critique and constant equivocating, the more confrontational style of Longman is a relief. At last, something to sink one’s teeth into! He goes in guns blazing. Unfortunately, his aim is a bit sporadic from the get-go. He begins by alarming Christians with his a particularly graphic example of what might become a [...]
The Epistemology of Antinomianism and the Sad Case of Gary Arnold
I want to let you in on one of the Bible’s little-known teachings. Call it pompous if you will, but the Bible teaches that a healthy respect for the law of God increases one’s intelligence and strategic abilities. I’m sorry if you don’t like that.

Christian Reconstructionism and the Original Languages
I read a lot of stuff by Christian Reconstructionists, mostly because I haven’t yet found any other scholars who grapple as seriously with biblical law from a Christian perspective. It’s a rare biblical scholar who doesn’t either ignore OT law, whitewash OT law, or simply throw up his hands in confusion at it. And yet [...]

immured
In response to a general Christian befuddlement over the relationship of the modern reader to biblical law, and as a result of a number of interesting and enlightening discussions that seem to be popping up quite often, I have been spurred on to a more thorough study of the works of the much-maligned and little-understood [...]

deuteronomy 30:11-20 — a theological challenge
You have heard it said that the law God has given is too hard, that it is impossible to follow, that it was given to illustrate the sin of mankind, not as an actual realistic blueprint for social order or moral purity.
