Description Conducive To Books By This Standard: The Authority of God's Law Today

God's Law is Christianity's tool of dominion. This is where any discussion of God's law ultimately arrives: the issue of dominion. Ask yourself: Who is to rule on earth, Christ or Satan? Whose followers have the ethically acceptable tool of dominion, Christ's or Satan's? What is this tool of dominion, the Biblically revealed law of God, or the law of self-proclaimed autonomous man? Whose word is sovereign, God's or man's?

Millions of Christians, sadly, have not recognized the continuing authority of God's law or its many applications to modern society. They have thereby reaped the whirlwind of cultural and intellectual impotence. They implicitly denied the power of the death and resurrection of Christ. They have served as footstools for the enemies of God. But humanism's free ride is coming to an end. This book serves as an introduction to this woefully neglected topic.

Assess Containing Books By This Standard: The Authority of God's Law Today

I give it five stars because it convinced me of the authority of God's law today. I had previously held a vague, negative view of the law, but by the time I read this book I had heard some statements from men I admired that challenged that attitude. Until this point I had heard statements but not arguments, and I hoped that Bahnsen's book would show whether it was possible to methodically answer all the objections to God's law that I had heard. He did, and when I was finished, I had no

First the housekeeping complaints: this is one of the most poorly edited books I've read. I'm fairly sure it was self-published or just not read by the editor. I would recommend reading this book but not this version, or just be prepared for random periods and hyphens to break up the flow of your reading.Now, am I converted to Theonomy? No. I am more aware of the difficulties associated with both sides of the argument. Most of the book is leveled at those who outright reject the Law which I

Great.

A terrific condensed book from his much larger work Theonomy in Christian Ethics. (If you're comparing page numbers it might be hard to see that since it goes from TiCE 476 pages to BTS 350 pages. But TiCE has 476 - 6"x9" pages - while BTS has 350 - 4"x6.75" pages. This makes a huge difference.)By This Standard is in many ways better than Theonomy in Christian Ethics in that it doesn't read like a master's thesis, is more digestible in its chapter lengths, is aimed at a broader audience and so

Is the Christian to be guided by Gods lawas found in Scriptureas the rule for life? Moreover, should Gods law be the standard by which all societies should to be run? Bahnsen answers in the affirmative to both questions, giving a strong and clear case as to why. This book serves as a great primer for anyone wanting to learn about theonomy, clearing up most questions people might have on the subject. Bahnsen was always one of the best and most lucid communicators on any subject about which he

Great book. Very clear and easy to understand, although it repeats things a little more than I would like.

If you want to watch logic in action on a grand scale, Bahnsen's the man. By This Standard continually reminded me of the best and worst aspects of systematic anything. At its best, it arrays all the promises of God before you, letting them shine together as if all the vaults at Tiffany's had been opened for your benefit. At worst, it's like reading a spreadsheet of the jewels in Tiffany's vault, with so many grams and carats and still more obscure measurements for color and clarity--all while
