The Christian Reconstruction movement, also known as Theonomy, had its beginnings in 1973 with the publication of Rousas John Rushdoony's Institutes of Biblical Law. Not long after, Greg L. Bahnsen's Theonomy in Christian Ethics appeared, followed by numerous works by Gary North, Kenneth Gentry, Gary DeMar, and others. The stated goal of the Reconstructionists is to "apply the Word of God to all areas of life." However, despite its wide influence and acceptance within Calvinistic circles, the theology of the movement departs significantly from the historic Reformed faith on the subject of Old Testament law, merges the Covenant of Works with the Covenant of Grace, and dangerously undermines the Gospel itself. This updated and greatly expanded third edition is extensively documented from the published works of the leaders of the movement.

This is Volume 2 of a two volume set. Please order both volumes for a complete set.America is no longer the land of the free. In Senate Report 93-549, the United States Congress admitted that, since at least 9 March 1933, the American people have lived under a state of national emergency. Instead of a federal Government of delegated and limited powers, what now operates from Washington, D.C. is a centralized military despotism which claims ultimate sovereignty over its citizens and rules them by statute in all cases whatsoever.Beginning with the usurpations of Abraham Lincoln, this book explains how the so-called emergency powers of the President of the United States developed over a period of seven decades and finally culminated in the virtual supplanting of the Constitution by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal democracy. The author draws heavily from a wealth of rare political literature from the past two centuries, as well as long-forgotten Government documents to paint an unsettling picture of American history and to show why nothing ever seems to change in Washington, no matter which political party is currently in power.

A "racial reconciliation" movement is spreading within American Christianity. While such a goal is laudable in itself, it cannot be successful if based on "zeal without knowledge." It has become fashionable for White people to assume most, if not all, of the responsibility for the disharmony that exists between Whites and Blacks. For example, prominent voices in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) recently called for the denomination to repent of its failures during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, and the racial views of Presbyterian divines in the antebellum period. However, were these views indeed contrary to the Word of God? The thoughts of fourteen Southern Presbyterian leaders, whose ministries spanned over a century of American history, are presented here in order that the reader may arrive at a more balanced answer to this question.

For the past 150 years, the American people have been led to believe that the Southern States committed treason when they seceded from the Union in 1861, and then took up arms to validate their claim to independence. But was secession really treasonous? In this book, the author outlines the constitutional and historical arguments that support the doctrine of State sovereignty and the inherent right of secession.
