About the Title: This exceptional book began as a quiet masters thesis in fulfillment of a Master of Theology degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1973. First published in 1977, this volume unexpectedly shook the theological establishment in its call for a return to God's law. The aftershocks are still being felt to this day. The author claims that God's law is the only perfect standard of righteousness for civil ethics. Over thirty years later it continues to challenge the church to unashamedly embrace the "Word of God, contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the only rule of faith and life."
God's law is the only perfect ethical standard for any society. Dr. J. Gresham Machen urged that a "new an dmore powerful proclamation of that law is perhaps the most pressing need of the hour.... A low views of laws always brings legalism in religion; a high view of law makes man a seeker after grace. Pray God that the high view may again prevail."
Every ethical decision assumes some final authority or standard and that will either be self-law (autonomy) or God's law (theonomy). Dr. Cornelius Van Til concluded that "there is no alternative but that of theonomy and autonomy." While unbelievers consider themselves the ultimate authority in determining moral right or wrong, believers acknowledge that God alone has that position and prerogative.
- PDF versions of: Theonomy in Christian Ethics, By This Standard, No Other Standard, House Divided, articles, and a resource catalog.
- 20 MP3 lectures by Dr. Bahnsen on subjects related to the theonomic thesis.
