Christ Is King – Theonomy and Civil Government
This 68 page paperback offers a brief, but compelling, summary of the biblical and philosophical basis for the “theonomic” view of civil government.
“In a D.Min seminary course that I teach on public theology, God & Politics: Four Views on the Reformation of Civil Government is required reading. I am gratified to see the republication of Greg Bahnsen’s contribution to that volume, as it remains the most mature and clearest argument for the theonomic viewpoint. His renowned intellectual gifts are here on full display. Naturally, his case was debatable when he wrote it (as the subtitle of the book indicates) and it remains so today. Readers across the theological spectrum would do well to revisit and be challenged by this essay. Not only will detractors will find the strongest arguments with which to contend, but many enthusiastic present-day theonomists of the “nationalist” variety may be chastened by Bahnsen’s repudiation of coercion, violence, or revolution to bring about a sanctified body politic.”
“When I first read Christ is King as a chapter in the Geneva College symposium God and Politics, I was convinced it was the best distilled articulation and defense of theonomy Greg Bahnsen had ever written. I still believe that today, and I’m excited about its publication in freestanding form. I’ve noted with gratification a renewed interest in theonomy over the last few years, but I’m occasionally troubled, not only by enemies who misrepresent and distort it, but even by some of its friends, in whose house it is wounded simply because they seem not to understand the nuances Greg articulated almost 40 years ago. This brief but poignant statement should set the matter straight, and whether you end up agreeing or disagreeing with theonomy as Greg masterfully explained it, at least you will have a knowledgeable and objective standard by which to evaluate it.”

Apologetics — The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing But The Truth
A paperback primer on the presuppositional method adapted from an oral presentation offered by Dr. Bahnsen during an informal debate with Dr. R.C. Sproul in 1977 at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi.
“This booklet offers a most concise, yet thorough-going presentation of Presuppositional Apologetics. Bahnsen’s rigorous exegesis, logical consistency and cogent style provide a superbly persuasive primer on defending the Christian faith in a Biblical manner. This resource will prove particularly valuable for those involved in ministry to an unbelieving culture.”
Brian De Jong, Pastor of Grace OPC (Sheboygan, WI)
“Never was it more important for the Christian church to retain a right biblical apologetic than at the present. The raging age of skepticism and Christian apostasy calls for a rock-solid, biblically-based, presuppositional apologetic as so elegantly, simply, and succinctly laid out here by Dr. Greg Bahnsen. I recommend this for every Christian leader and lay person.”
Kevin Swanson, Pastor, and Director of Generations
“Derived from the classic informal debate between Greg Bahnsen and RC Sproul, “Apologetics” presents a concise summary of the fundamental principles of the presuppositional approach. This brief and succinct overview serves as a valuable resource, offering key insights into the biblical foundation of apologetics, making it beneficial for both experts and laypeople. I wholeheartedly recommend it.”
