The position which has come to be labelled 'Theonomy' today holds that the word of the Lord is the sole, supreme, and unchallengeable standard for the actions and attitudes of all men in all areas of life. It also teaches that since the fall it has always been unlawful to use the law of God in hopes of establishing ones own personal merit and justification. Commitment to obedience is but the lifestyle of faith, a token of gratitude for Gods redeeming grace. The author insists that the whole Old Testament civil law, including the penalty structure (execution for adultery and so on) is binding up­on present-day civil governments. His is the most thorough and cogent defence of that position so far pub­lished. Paperback in readable condition with clean pages, but with staining on the cover and small spine creases
