00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:21 What is a list of books that help with applying God's law
00:00:25 to our society, government, culture?
00:00:29 What do you think?
00:00:29 What are some good books?
00:00:31 Oh, a list of books for God's law.
00:00:32 Oh, okay.
00:00:33 For applying God's law.
00:00:35 Beyond just the church, to society.
00:00:37 I mean, A.D. was, I think, reading one, right?
00:00:39 Yeah, I mean, I've got it right here.
00:00:40 It's called The Institutes of Biblical Law by R.J. Rushduni.
00:00:45 And what I like about it is it's good as a reference.
00:00:48 It has a huge index in the back.
00:00:50 Any Bible verse you can think of, you just look it up,
00:00:52 and you'll see pages it's mentioned.
00:00:54 So you don't have to read the whole thing if you don't like to do that kind of thing.
00:00:59 And, yeah, that's the one I would recommend, because it's just, it's thorough, it's exhaustive.
00:01:06 Again, you can't believe literally everything he says.
00:01:08 You've got to use discernment, but it's very helpful.
00:01:12 I agree.
00:01:13 I agree.
00:01:14 The Ten Commandments by Thomas Watson. 0.96
00:01:16 The Puritans.
00:01:17 I think a lot of their stuff is really, really good.
00:01:19 You hear that? 0.97
00:01:20 Puritans.
00:01:20 John likes the Puritans. 0.82
00:01:21 He likes the Puritans.
00:01:22 Do you have a book recommendation?
00:01:23 Greg Bonson.
00:01:24 Yeah, I have, yeah, by this standard, right?
00:01:28 It's his book on that.
00:01:30 I think I have Theonomy and Christian Ethics and stuff.
00:01:32 It has some good stuff to say about it.
00:01:35 I'm trying to think.
00:01:36 Honestly, this is kind of a weird answer in some ways.
00:01:39 So this isn't like...
00:01:40 Leviticus, is that what you're trying to say?
00:01:43 That's a good one.
00:01:43 That's a great one.
00:01:45 Nah, I'm an Exodus guy, actually.
00:01:48 No, some of the confessions, actually.
00:01:50 Yeah, this is the history answer here.
00:01:52 But some of the historic confessions, I think, have some really good information on that.
00:01:58 So, yeah, like, read the Westminster, and it doesn't go into specifics as much.
00:02:03 This, you know, Synod of Dort, and really all of the historic confessions, the Heidelberg,
00:02:09 they all have to deal with this somewhere along the line.
00:02:11 So, yeah, go to the primary source.
00:02:14 I like doing that.
00:02:15 Yeah, no, that's good.
00:02:16 And Toby Sumter, just to give him some props, he just recently wrote a 50-question catechism
00:02:21 on God's design for government.
00:02:24 And it's on Canon Press.
00:02:25 He did a video of it where he gives the question and a short answer.
00:02:28 and it was fantastic it was really really good um and then all the greg bonson stuff thanks to
00:02:33 jeff durbin and and james white um the bonson family has given that to apologia and so they
00:02:39 started bonson you bonson university and all of it is now free um through apologia and their
00:02:45 ministry and all for homeschool parents some of this stuff can be heady and um so i i'm kind of
00:02:51 if those who listen to the podcast i probably said before like i'm a paleo conservative or at
00:02:55 I think I am I consider myself that and I look at like the print there's principles in the Bible
00:03:02 that should be applied I don't think it's a one-for-one necessarily and it's hard with so
00:03:06 you know there's a certain context that the law was given but I think it does apply the principles
00:03:10 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 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 it's called biblical principles for africa it's not even for the united states but
00:03:24 i remember when i was probably a teenager i found it somewhere i don't even know where i found it
00:03:30 and it's super short and it just goes through like really basic stuff about property and the
00:03:35 role of government and i i just thought it just was pretty clear so if you can pick up peter hammond
00:03:41 biblical principles for africa i think it's pretty good and his whole thing just by the way so he's
00:03:45 a missionary and he's trying to like show people in Africa that he's trying to teach. Like, here's
00:03:51 what the Bible says. Cause some, in some cases they are trying to like reform and start from
00:03:55 scratch and like, they're asking these questions. So that's why I think it's really good.
00:04:00 Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment
00:04:04 and leave us a five-star review. If you enjoyed the show, this is undoubtedly the best way that
00:04:10 you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
