Theonomic Approach to Ethics—Part 1

What does the "theonomic" view of ethics really maintain? Many people (especially critics) are pretty far off the mark here. Dr. Bahnsen, author of Theonomy in Christian Ethics, explains in these easily understood lectures what the Bible teaches about the continuing normativity of the Old Testament law and its relevance for modern politics.

(Luke 6:44) (1...
