Christian Reconstructionism Series, Part 3: The Problem of R. J. Rushdoony’s Biography
R. J. Rushdoony is a polarizing figure. Most who write about him are either producing short hagiographies or short hate speeches, nearly always less than one thousand words (four pages) in length. There doesn’t seem to be much in between, nor anything longer, even though he is the founder of the Chalcedon Institute, which Newsweek [...]
Christian Reconstructionism Series, Part 2: Francis Schaeffer
In the first installment we briefly went over the life of Cornelius Van Til. Though not a Reconstructionist himself, his presuppositionalism and his part in the founding of Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church are necessary to understanding the movement. (I could similarly have justified doing a bit on the life of J. [...]

I’ve found the Journal for Christian Reconstruction Online.
Link here. This is the JCR published by Chalcedon, the Rushdoony wing of the Christian Reconstructionist movement, but it existed before the Rushdoony-North split. It was edited by North.

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 [...]

Thoughts on O’Donovan’s “The Desire of the Nations”
Around 2 a.m. a month ago, in a smoke-filled hookah bar in Orlando, Florida, I found myself engaged in a conversation about religion and politics with a man who spent his career at the intersection between the two (I count his brief stint as a bar-tender as religious/political work in addition to his more overtly [...]

A Peek at Religion in Dunning’s ‘Extremes’ and the Inescapability of Confession
Mahler, having spoken about his troubled relationship with Alma and about the discord in his work, must have felt reassured when Freud brought order to the emotional confusion by directing him to his childhood. Perhaps that restored his self-confidence as a man and a husband. In her autobiography, Alma wrote that Freud raised the subconscious [...]
