00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.540 Thanks.
00:00:21.580 What is a list of books that help with applying God's law
00:00:25.980 to our society, government, culture?
00:00:29.180 What do you think?
00:00:29.660 What are some good books?
00:00:31.060 Oh, a list of books for God's law.
00:00:32.780 Oh, okay.
00:00:33.460 For applying God's law.
00:00:35.640 Beyond just the church, to society.
00:00:37.260 I mean, A.D. was, I think, reading one, right?
00:00:39.840 Yeah, I mean, I've got it right here.
00:00:40.880 It's called The Institutes of Biblical Law by R.J. Rushduni.
00:00:45.060 And what I like about it is it's good as a reference.
00:00:48.360 It has a huge index in the back.
00:00:50.480 Any Bible verse you can think of, you just look it up,
00:00:52.560 and you'll see pages it's mentioned.
00:00:54.700 So you don't have to read the whole thing if you don't like to do that kind of thing.
00:00:59.040 And, yeah, that's the one I would recommend, because it's just, it's thorough, it's exhaustive.
00:01:06.060 Again, you can't believe literally everything he says.
00:01:08.880 You've got to use discernment, but it's very helpful.
00:01:12.520 I agree.
00:01:13.760 I agree.
00:01:14.120 The Ten Commandments by Thomas Watson. 0.96
00:01:16.200 The Puritans.
00:01:17.360 I think a lot of their stuff is really, really good.
00:01:19.100 You hear that? 0.97
00:01:20.160 Puritans.
00:01:20.480 John likes the Puritans. 0.82
00:01:21.600 He likes the Puritans.
00:01:22.700 Do you have a book recommendation?
00:01:23.980 Greg Bonson.
00:01:24.860 Yeah, I have, yeah, by this standard, right?
00:01:28.860 It's his book on that.
00:01:30.620 I think I have Theonomy and Christian Ethics and stuff.
00:01:32.860 It has some good stuff to say about it.
00:01:35.780 I'm trying to think.
00:01:36.320 Honestly, this is kind of a weird answer in some ways.
00:01:39.360 So this isn't like...
00:01:40.780 Leviticus, is that what you're trying to say?
00:01:43.140 That's a good one.
00:01:43.960 That's a great one.
00:01:45.200 Nah, I'm an Exodus guy, actually.
00:01:48.420 No, some of the confessions, actually.
00:01:50.420 Yeah, this is the history answer here.
00:01:52.820 But some of the historic confessions, I think, have some really good information on that.
00:01:58.580 So, yeah, like, read the Westminster, and it doesn't go into specifics as much.
00:02:03.720 This, you know, Synod of Dort, and really all of the historic confessions, the Heidelberg,
00:02:09.120 they all have to deal with this somewhere along the line.
00:02:11.560 So, yeah, go to the primary source.
00:02:14.660 I like doing that.
00:02:15.940 Yeah, no, that's good.
00:02:16.560 And Toby Sumter, just to give him some props, he just recently wrote a 50-question catechism
00:02:21.940 on God's design for government.
00:02:24.340 And it's on Canon Press.
00:02:25.680 He did a video of it where he gives the question and a short answer.
00:02:28.140 and it was fantastic it was really really good um and then all the greg bonson stuff thanks to
00:02:33.700 jeff durbin and and james white um the bonson family has given that to apologia and so they
00:02:39.380 started bonson you bonson university and all of it is now free um through apologia and their
00:02:45.220 ministry and all for homeschool parents some of this stuff can be heady and um so i i'm kind of
00:02:51.500 if those who listen to the podcast i probably said before like i'm a paleo conservative or at
00:02:55.400 I think I am I consider myself that and I look at like the print there's principles in the Bible
00:03:02.440 that should be applied I don't think it's a one-for-one necessarily and it's hard with so
00:03:06.380 you know there's a certain context that the law was given but I think it does apply the principles
00:03:10.960 of it and there's a there's a book that I think you could use even with your kids because it's
00:03:14.980 so simple and I don't even know where you could find it now but it's by a guy named Peter Hammond
00:03:20.400 it's called biblical principles for africa it's not even for the united states but
00:03:24.980 i remember when i was probably a teenager i found it somewhere i don't even know where i found it
00:03:30.640 and it's super short and it just goes through like really basic stuff about property and the
00:03:35.880 role of government and i i just thought it just was pretty clear so if you can pick up peter hammond
00:03:41.480 biblical principles for africa i think it's pretty good and his whole thing just by the way so he's
00:03:45.520 a missionary and he's trying to like show people in Africa that he's trying to teach. Like, here's
00:03:51.320 what the Bible says. Cause some, in some cases they are trying to like reform and start from
00:03:55.760 scratch and like, they're asking these questions. So that's why I think it's really good.
00:04:00.060 Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment
00:04:04.980 and leave us a five-star review. If you enjoyed the show, this is undoubtedly the best way that
00:04:10.920 you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
