The Chalcedon Podcast

Unlike many theologians, Rushdoony devoted the last section of his two-volume Systematic Theology to the subject of prayer, and he was a devout practitioner of having a continual conversation with God as well as providing us with a deep analysis of Biblical prayer.

Man wants to build his “Canaan” but only creates continual hells. America itself worsens in its social and economic issues partly due to a retreat by evangelical churches who watch the decline from the sidelines and even participate in it. The same old wounds of class and racial hatred remain, and crime is on the rise. Is this not the time to return to God and His law?

Rushdoony wrote that social financing is a necessity, and it will be done either by the faithful tithing of God’s people or by the coercive taxation by the state. If Christians are to establish alternative means of government, education, and charity, then they’ll have to do it through the tithe. For this reason, the tithe plays a central role in the great mission of Christian Reconstruction.

Subversive activity seeks to undermine society, and a significant factor in these schemes is the subversion of words where meaning is hijacked to make way for revolution and marginalize opponents. This is especially damaging when the subversion is happening within Christianity itself.

Humanistic thinkers like Freud and Bertrand Russell believed that the decline of religion would follow the solving of societal ills while diminishing any sense of guilt. In this sense, they wanted to build a society free from religion, which would only mean that it would reconstructed by the religion of man. To achieve this would require rule by a scientific state acting as God and regulating every area of life and thought. As we can now see, this idealism took a nose dive as society eroded, especially along moral lines, and confusion and destruction are sapping the hope of the next generation. In this sense, humanism is suicidal, but a great return to Biblical Christianity is underway as a new governing class is developing through Christian education and a return to God’s law.

The modern world witnesses a troubling drift, as many today, detached from history and divine purpose, see humans as merely “disposable.” This perspective is a far cry from the “dominion man” envisioned by the Scriptures—man made in God’s image to steward and lead creation with purpose. Tragically, this detachment from our intended role breeds societal unrest, leading us from one crisis to another. As we abandon our rightful place in history, we risk becoming its victims. In this episode, we dive deep into this paradigm. Which role will we choose: the disposable or the dominion? Join us to explore the path forward.
