The Institutes of Biblical Law Volume I
By R. J. Rushdoony. Biblical Law is a plan for dominion under God, whereas its
rejection is to claim dominion on man’s terms. The general principles
(commandments) of the law are discussed as well as their
specific applications (case law) in Scripture. Many
consider this to be the author’s most important work.
The Institutes of Biblical Law Vol. 1 (La Institución de la Ley Bíblica, Tomo 1)

Ten Commandments for Today (DVD)
We hear much about the search for virtue and defined morality. Ethics remains at
the center of discussion in sports, entertainment, politics, and education as our
culture gropes for a comprehensive standard to guide itself through the darkness
of the modern age. Very few consider the Bible as the rule of conduct and God
has been marginalized by the pluralism of our society.
Chalcedon Foundation presents a powerful solution to this dilemma in The Ten Commandments
for Today. This 12-part collection on two DVD’s contains several in-depth interviews with Dr.
R.J. Rushdoony, the foremost authority on Biblical law and its application to contemporary
society. Each commandment is covered in detail as Dr. Rushdoony challenges the humanistic
remedies that have obviously failed. Only through God’s revealed will as laid down in the Bible
can the standard for righteous living be found.
Rushdoony silences the critics of Christianity by outlining the rewards of obedience as well as
the consequences of disobedience to God’s word.
In a world craving answers, The Ten Commandments for Today provides an effective and
coherent solution - one that is guaranteed success.

Faith and Obedience: An Introduction to Biblical Law
By R. J. Rushdoony. Is God’s law opposed to love, grace, and faith? The Apostle
Paul makes clear in Roman 13:8-10 that love is the fulfilling of the law because
love puts law into action by respecting God’s requirements concerning life,
property, our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. If we commit adultery, we do
not love our spouse. If we are idolaters, we do not love God. Love is more than a
feeling; it is a way of life lived either in faith and obedience to God and His law, or in unbelief
and disobedience. Love is the law of God put into action by a person of faith. Therefore, it is the
grace of God that He has given us His commandments.
In this powerful introduction to Biblical law, R. J. Rushdoony reveals that to be born again
means that where you were once governed by your own word and spirit, you are now totally
governed by God’s Word and Spirit. This is because every word of God is a binding word. Our
money, our calling, our family, our sexuality, our political life, our economics, our sciences, our
art, and all things else must be subject to God’s Word and requirements.
The Scripture says that “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), and that “sin is the transgression
of the law” (1 John 3:4). Therefore, to be lawless - without law - is leading our society to death.
Might this explain the disasters and collapses of our time? Can you see how important such a
study of God’s law would be? If so, then here is your introduction.

same as the humanistic one. It is urgently necessary for Christian educators to rethink the
meaning and nature of the curriculum.
It should be clear then that whether history, science, mathematics, grammar, literature, ecology,
civic duty, or law, every aspect of curriculum must be reconstructed along Biblical lines. The
overall objective is for Christian families to prepare and equip themselves for service in the
Kingdom of God, and this cannot be done without a rethinking of the philosophy of the Christian
curriculum. In this study, R. J. Rushdoony develops the philosophy of the Christian curriculum.
It is the pioneering study in this field, and it is important reading for all Christian educators.
Intellectual Schizophrenia
By R. J. Rushdoony. The title of this book is particularly significant in that Dr.
Rushdoony was able to identify the basic contradiction that pervades a secular
society that rejects God’s sovereignty by still needs law and order, justice, science,
and meaning to life. Secular man wants to use the thinks of creation while denying
their creator. As Dr. Rushdoony writes, “there is no law, no society, no justice, no
structure, no design, no meaning apart from God.” And so, modern man has become
schizophrenic. He wants to assert his autonomy while rejecting the divine order that gives
meaning to life. To the humanist, the aim of living is something he calls the “good life.” For the
nihilist, it is violence and death.

Dr. Rushdoony saw cultural schizophrenia as a split between thought and feeling, a withdrawal
from the reality of God and a flight into fantasies of world government achieved through an
unattainable unity. Utopians are undeniably schizophrenic. They want a heaven on earth, which
can only be achieved by coercion and enslavement. But perhaps what they really want, as
depraved human beings, is coercion and enslavement, and use utopian idealism to deceive and
entrap the gullible.
Nor is it by accident that the government schools now lavish so much time on death education,
which has been marbleized throughout the curriculum. As Dr. Rushdoony writes: “For man to
turn his back on God, therefore, is to turn towards death.” And this is exactly what the
government schools have done. Add to this, multiculturalism, transcendental meditation,
sensitivity training, explicit sex education, drug education, evolution, behavioral psychology,
humanism, whole language, and other such programs, and you get a curriculum that is so
profoundly anti-Christian that one wonders how any Christian parent or minister can condone
putting a Christian child in a government school.

Mathematics: Is God Silent?
By James Nickel. This book revolutionizes the prevailing understanding and
teaching of math. The addition of this book is a must for all upper-level Christian
school curricula and for college students and adults interested in math or related
fields of science and religion. It will serve as a solid refutation for the claim, often
made in court, that mathematics is one subject, which cannot be taught from a
distinctively Biblical perspective.

of the universe. Hence, men must bring their speculations back into subjection to the revelation
of God.
If education is to be seriously, consistently Christian, an intellectual reformation is required. It
will be resisted more forcefully by those within the camp of the faithful who believe that
intellectual schizophrenia, if baptized early enough, is the hallmark of mental health. Judgment
begins at the house of the Lord. So does reconstruction.

The Workbook teaches our alphabetic system - with its 26 letters and 44 sounds - in the
following sequence: First, the alphabet, then the short vowels and consonants, the consonant
digraphs, followed by the consonant blends, and finally the long vowels in their variety of
spellings and our other vowels.
This program can be used to teach reading to beginners of all ages, older students in need of
remediation, non-readers, adults who wish to improve their reading skills, dyslexics, the learning
disabled, and non-English speakers who wish to learn to read English and improve their

This Independent Republic
By R. J. Rushdoony. First published in 1964, this series of essays gives important
insight into American history by one who could trace American development in
terms of the Christian ideas which gave it direction.
These essays will greatly alter your understanding of, and appreciation for,
American history. Topics discussed include: the legal issues behind the War of
Independence; sovereignty as a theological tenet foreign to colonial political thought and the
Constitution; the desire for land as a consequence of the belief in inheriting the land as a future
blessing, not an immediate economic asset; federalism’s localism as an inheritance of feudalism;
the local control of property as a guarantee of liberty; why federal elections were long considered
of less importance than local politics; how early American ideas attributed to democratic thought
were based on religious ideals of communion and community; and the absurdity of a
mathematical concept of equality being applied to people.

Government experts created the Indian reservations. America’s churches whole-heartedly
supported it, convinced the reservation would be the key to winning souls for Christianity.
In 1944 young R. J. Rushdoony arrived at the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Nevada as a
missionary to the Shoshone and the Paiute Indians. For eight years he lived with them, worked
with them, ministered to them and listened to their stories. He came to know them intimately,
both as individuals and as a people. This is his story, and theirs.
It is also the story of an experiment that failed, disastrously—and exercise in statist paternalism
and ineffective Christian meddling whose effects ravage the Indians to this day. The reservation
system debased the people it was meant to serve, and the churches failed in their mission; until,
in the end, the proud and resourceful Indian was transformed into “a defeated man, lacking in
character.” This is Rushdoony’s eyewitness testimony to that failure.
Today, as America’s leaders expand the welfare state and radically transform the entire nation,
we’d do well to reconsider this first experiment in government dependency and a Christianity
stripped of God’s law—before all of the United States is transformed into a massive reservation
on a continental scale. Rushdoony’s description of our past is also an indictment of our statist
future.

comprehensive plan. The humanist faces a meaningless world in which he must strive to create
and establish meaning. The Christian accepts a world which is totally meaningful and in which
every event moves in terms of God’s purpose; he submits to God’s meaning and finds his life
therein. This is an excellent introduction to Rushdoony. Once the reader sees Rushdoony’s
emphasis on God’s sovereignty over all of time and creation, he will understand his application
of this presupposition in various spheres of life and thought.
English History
Rushdoony was a master historian because of his mastery of so many fields of
study. His thorough knowledge of Scripture, philosophy, and history enabled
him to speak uniquely to historical periods. If you’ve heard his lectures on
American and world history, you’ll enjoy his survey of English history.

The “Atheism” of the Early Church
By R. J. Rushdoony. Early Christians were called “heretics” and “atheists” when
they denied the gods of Rome, in particular the divinity of the emperor and the
statism he embodied in his personality cult. These Christians knew that Jesus
Christ, not the state, was their Lord and that this faith required a different kind of
relationship to the state than the state demanded. Because Jesus Christ was their
acknowledged Sovereign, they consciously denied such esteem to all other claimants. Today the
church must take a similar stand before the modern state.
The Foundations of Social Order: Studies in the Creeds and Councils of the
Early Church
By R. J. Rushdoony. Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life and
law, and represents a religion in action. Wherever there is an attack on the
organization of society, there is an attack on its religion. The basic faith of a
society means growth in terms of that faith, but any tampering with its basic
structure is revolutionary activity. The life of a society is its creed; a dying creed faces desertion
or subversion readily. Every creed, however healthy, is also under continual attack; the culture
which neglects to defend and further its creedal base is exposing its heart to the enemy’s knife.
Because of its indifference to its creedal basis in Biblical Christianity, western civilization is
today facing death and is in a life and death struggle with humanism.
Today humanism is the creedal basis of the various democratic and socialistic movements. The
clearer the humanism, the more direct its use of power, because it operates in terms of a
consistency of principle. The conservatives attempt to retain the political forms of the Christian
West with no belief in Biblical Christianity. Apart from vague affirmations of liberty, they
cannot defend their position philosophically. They, therefore, become fact-finders: they try to
oppose the humanists by documenting their cruelty, corruption, and abuse of office. If the facts
carry any conviction to the people, they lead them only to exchange one set of radical humanists
for reforming radical humanists. It is never their faith in the system which is shaken, but only in

21
a form or representative of that system. The success of the subversives rests on their attack on the
creed of the establishment, and its replacement by a new creed.
Then the foundations are provided, the general form of the building is determined. When the
creed is accepted, the social order is determined. There can, therefore, be no reconstruction of the
Christian civilization of the west except on Christian creedal foundations.

In this volume, Dr. Rushdoony clearly enunciates each major philosophers position and its
implications, identifies the intellectual and moral consequences of each school of thought, and
traces the dead-end to which each naturally leads. There is only one foundation. Without Christ,
meaning and morality are anchored to shifting sand, and a counsel of despair prevails. This
penetrating yet brief volume provides clear guidance, even for laymen unfamiliar with
philosophy.

By What Standard?
By R. J. Rushdoony. An introduction into the problems of Christian philosophy. It
focuses on the philosophical system of Dr. Cornelius Van Til, which in turn is
founded upon the presuppositions of an infallible revelation in the Bible and the
necessity of Christian theology for all philosophy.
Basic to this study is the belief that presuppositions of human thought in every field must be
basically one in order to arrive at any concept which both validates biblical faith and human
knowledge. The sovereignty of the self-contained God is the key to every field, in that only the
God of Scripture makes all things possible and explicable and is thus the basic premise not only
of theology, but of philosophy, science and indeed all knowledge. In that God is the Creator of
all things. He is their only valid principle of interpretation, in that they derive both their existence
and meaning from His creative act. This belief is herein set forth in terms of various aspects of
human thought.
Again basic to this study is the belief that such a philosophy finds consistent and able exposition
in the writings of Cornelius Van Til. This work, therefore, is thus both an exposition as well of
Van Til’s development of that philosophy, a school of thought to which the author subscribes.
This is Rushdoony’s foundational work on philosophy.

understanding. Reason is a gift of God, but we must not make more of it than it is. To see our
reason as supreme is to see ourselves as supreme, and thereby repeat the sin of seeking to “be as
gods” (Gen. 3:5).
The first three essays of this volume were published in a small booklet in 1960 as a tribute to the
thought of Dr. Cornelius Van Til, titled Van Til. The last four essays were written some time
later and are published here for the first time.
The One and the Many: Studies in the Philosophy of Order and Ultimacy
By R. J. Rushdoony. The question of where ultimacy lies should be central to the
Christian. It is easy to see the social implications of allowing priority to fall to
either the one or the many. This volume examines in-depth the Christian solution
to the problem of the one and the many - the Trinitarian God. Only in the godhead
is this dilemma resolved. Only in the Trinity does there reside an equal ultimacy of
unity and plurality. Rushdoony examines the history of Western thought from the standpoint of
the one and the many and demonstrates clearly that the most astute thinkers were unable to
resolve this philosophical conflict. What is needed now is a complete return to the Trinitarian
view of God and its implications for a Christian social order.

Neoplatonism presents man’s dilemma as a metaphysical one, whereas Scripture presents it as a
moral problem. Basing Christianity on this false neoplatonic idea will always shirt the faith away
from the Biblical perspective. Modern ideas of spirituality have developed into a form of over
against the Biblical model where the Spirit of God is active in the world and in the person to
work out the will of God. Too many Christians believe they can escape sin if they can escape the
material world. But Scripture says all of man fell into sin, not just his flesh.
Flight From Humanity is a revealing look into the nature and effect of neoplatonism on
contemporary Christian thought, and it offers sound Biblical solutions for the believer who
desires to fully serve God.

Man has trampled God’s law under foot. In doing so, he has misused himself and trampled on
the God-given rights of his fellowman. He is conscious of his guilt, and seeks self-justification
through self-atonement.
The author makes it perfectly clear that there is only one way of escape from present slough and
despair. It is in turning in heartfelt repentance to God who has already provided atonement in the
sacrifice of His Son. And true repentance includes a return to the doing of God’s will as revealed
in God’s Word, the Bible.

psychologically. True knowledge of anything is revelational of God. Thus, an aspect of man’s
revolt against maturity and against life is his revolt against knowledge. Psychological damaging
is inevitable for those in revolt against the maturity which the God of all life and all knowledge
has purposed for man
The certain and true guilt which the human personality suffers because of sin can be alleviated
only when God effects regeneration through the atoning blood of Christ. Thus having laid aside
the old self with its evil practices, the new self is being renewed to a true knowledge according to
the image of the One who created him in righteousness and holiness of the truth. (Col. 3:10; Eph.
4:24) In the general or wider sense, the image of God in man means that man like God is a
personality. The author notes that “in the redeemed man, this means that man becomes
progressively more and more a person, self-conscious in his growth and character (as opposed to
being unconscious of his nature), and steadily manifesting more and more the image of God in
knowledge, righteousness, holiness, and dominion.” Sanctification is unto holiness by which
man realizes his chief end: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever: But because of his revolt
against maturity man continues to suffer psychological damage both personally and collectively
through the chaotic condition of his mind and his culture.
Freud
By R. J. Rushdoony. For years this compact examination of Freud has been out of
print. And although both Freud and Rushdoony have passed on, their ideas are still
very much in collision. Rush shows conclusively the error of Freud’s thought and
the disastrous consequences of his influence in society.
As long as man views guilt as a problem for science instead of religion, the influence of Sigmund
Freud will remain lurking in the mind of modern man. Freud was an architect of the modern
world — an unholy builder — like Marx and Darwin. Freud was also a hater of religion —
specifically the Bible and its absolute standard. He believed Biblical theism to be the “delusion”
which compounded man’s central problem of guilt. Freud wanted man to accept his moral
predicament without reference to sin.
This analysis of one of history’s most insidious players will provide insight into the modern rush
to abolish Christianity and Biblical thought.

is popular because it is such a useful paradigm to sinful men; it dispenses with God as a
prerequisite of all things. But Christianity as a religious faith depends not on proofs that are
constructions of man’s fallen mind, but on the reality of an almighty God who reveals Himself to
us by grace. Christianity, too, depends on circular reasoning: we even begin and end with faith in
God and His revelation.
The purpose of this book (first published in 1967) is to define the nature of the opposing
religious systems of thought, Christian creationism and Darwinism (in its various forms). It is a
call to urge Christians to stand firm for Biblical six-day creationism as a fundamental aspect of
their faith in the Creator.

hungry Calvinists, and it throws down the gauntlet to all who believe they can maintain a
consistent view of Biblical infallibility while abandoning literal, six-day creation.
It is a must reading for all who are observing closely the gradual defection of many allegedly
conservative churches and denominations, or who simply want a greater grasp of an orthodox,
God-honoring view of the Bible.
Larceny in the Heart: The Economics of Satan and the Inflationary State
By R.J. Rushdoony. Why are the most successful and advanced members of
society often deemed to be the criminals? In a word - Envy.
The envious man finds superiority in others intolerable, and he wishes to level and
equalize all things. Many sociologists and social scientists turn this hatred and
resentment into “virtue” under the guise of “social science” by calling it a demand for fraternity
and equality.
In this concise volume, Rushdoony uncovers the larceny in the heart of man and its results: class
warfare and conflict society in which the rise of hostility and envy are seen as steps towards
social progress, when in fact they lead to disaster. The political solutions posited lead to an
inflationary economy and an overbearing state.
This book is a must-read to gain a biblical understand of the underlying tenets of this codified
coveting and the only certain long-term cure.

Numbers, Volume IV of Commentaries on the Pentateuch
By R. J. Rushdoony. The Lord desires a people who will embrace their
responsibilities.
The history of Israel in the wilderness is a sad narrative of a people with hearts
hardened by complaint and rebellion to God’s ordained authorities. They were
slaves, not an army. They would recognize the tyranny of Pharaoh but disregard the
servant-leadership of Moses. God would judge the generation He led out of captivity, while
training a new generation to conquer Canaan.
The book of Numbers reveals God’s dealings with both generations. The rebellious in Israel are
judged incessantly while a census is taken to number the armies of Israel according to their
tribes. This was an assessment of strength and a means to encourage the younger generation to
view themselves as God’s army and not Pharaoh’s slaves.

The Gospel of John
By R. J. Rushdoony. Jesus is the true bread of life, come down from heaven. His
flesh, His true humanity, is our bread of life; this He gives for the life of the world.
We are in Him no longer the sinful and death-bound sons of fallen Adam, but the
just and life-bound people of the last Adam. Christ gives us His flesh, His glorious
humanity, so that we are remade into people of righteousness and eternal life.
In this commentary the author maps out the glorious gospel of John, starting from the obvious
parallel to Genesis 1 (“In the beginning was the Word”) and through to the glorious conclusion
of Christ’s death and resurrection. Nothing more clearly reveals the gospel than Christ’s atoning
death and His resurrection. They tell us that Jesus Christ has destroyed the power of sin and
death. John therefore deliberately limits the number of miracles he reports in order to point to
and concentrate on our Lord’s death and resurrection. The Jesus of history is He who made
atonement for us, died and was resurrected. His life cannot be understood apart from this, nor
can we know His history in any other light. This is why John’s “testimony is true,” and, while
books filling the earth could not contain all that could be said, the testimony given by John is
“faithful.”

Hebrews, James and Jude
By R. J. Rushdoony. There is a resounding call in Hebrews, which we cannot
forget without going astray: “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach” (13:13). This is a summons to serve Christ the Redeemer-
King fully and faithfully, without compromise. In our time, it calls for a break, not
only with the prevailing culture of humanistic statism and its messianic claims and
pretensions, but also a wayward church that has made itself the handmaiden to Christ’s enemies.
When James, in his epistle, says that faith without works is dead, he tells us that faith is not a
mere matter of words, but it is of necessity a matter of life. We are dead men if we no longer can
breathe, and we are spiritually dead if our faith is unaccompanied by works. Too many churches
are like graveyards because too many members have no living faith. “Pure religion and
undefiled” requires Christian charity and action. Anything short of this is a self-delusion.
James’s letter is a corrective the church needs badly.
Jude similarly recalls us to Jesus Christ’s apostolic commission, “Remember ye the words which
have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 17). Jude’s letter is
usually classified as an apocalyptic tract, but we cannot forget that all the Bible speaks of a
division between fallen and redeemed humanity, between the saved and the lost, of the necessity
for a new creation beginning with us, and of the inescapable triumph of the Kingdom of God.

Proverbs Collection
By Kevin Swanson. Of all of the possible curriculum choices used for
the education of our children, the most important textbook of all is that
which God Himself presented in the book of Proverbs. This book is the
core curriculum. It is God’s book on how to live life on planet earth.
To disregard this book in the education of our children would be a
colossal error.
With this Study Guide on the book of Proverbs, you will learn God’s basic truths as they speak
to the classical philosophical divisions of epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. You will
grapple with the tensions of determinism and human responsibility. You will find an entire
system of priorities for life’s ethics and purposes. You will find the basic constituents of a
biblical social system, as well as principles for sound economics, government, and general
business management. The book includes both a proper theology, anthropology, and human
psychology. Every education program will give you a system of categories by which you
understand life, history, truth, ethics, and reality. Some systems have a semblance of truth, but
they are fundamentally compromised because they do not begin with the book of Proverbs or the
fear of God (Prov. 1:7).

A Comprehensive Faith
Edited by Andrew Sandlin. This is the surprise Festschrift presented to Rev. R.J.
Rushdoony at his 80th birthday celebration in April, 1996. These essays are in
gratitude to Rush’s influence and elucidate the importance of his theological and
philosophical contributions in numerous fields. This book was produced as a “top-
secret” project by Friends of Chalcedon and donated to Ross House Books. It is
sure to be a collector’s item one day.
The impetus behind these essays constitutes not merely profound gratitude for the unparalleled
godly influence of R. J. Rushdoony, but also the endeavor to elucidate and employ Rushdoony’s
foundational thinking in numerous spheres.

celebrated as the literary symbol of liberation from God and His law-word. This refashioning
was nothing new. It was but an echo of the liberation theology of the Marquis de Sade, the 19th
century pervert de France (1740-1814).
In 1974, R. J. Rushdoony, wrote, “[T]his new pornography, first conceived by Sade - will not be
eliminated by moral indignation or by legislation.” Rushdoony recognized that the roots of
pornography in modern culture are essentially religious and must be combated religiously.
In this powerful book Noble Savages (formerly The Politics of Pornography) Rushdoony
demonstrates that in order for modern man to justify his perversion he must reject the Biblical
doctrine of the fall of man. If there is no fall, the Marquis de Sade argued, then all that man does
is normative. Rushdoony concluded, “[T]he world will soon catch up with Sade, unless it
abandons its humanistic foundations.”
In his conclusion Rushdoony wrote, “Symptoms are important and sometimes very serious, but it
is very wrong and dangerous to treat symptoms rather than the underlying disease. Pornography
is a symptom; it is not the problem.” What is the problem? It’s the philosophy behind
pornography—the rejection of the fall of man that makes normative all that man does. Learn it
all in this timeless classic.

But Biblical compassion flows from our having first received the grace of God and then
manifesting it to others. Therefore, Biblical charity - which is compassion in action - is personal:
it begins with God’s mercy towards us, and then the people of God give expression to that at an
individual level. It is in His service that we understand out calling to charity.
In this book, Rushdoony elucidates the Christian’s calling to charity and its implications for
godly dominion. In an age when Christian action is viewed in political terms, a return to
Christian works of compassion and Godly service will help usher in a return of the reign of God
as no piece of legislation ever could.

Salvation and Godly Rule
By R. J. Rushdoony. Man was called to dominion (Gen. 1:26-28), and to establish
his reign over the world under God. By his fall, man introduced the reign of death
into the world, and as long as he remains in the Fall, sin reigns in him unto death,
both in time and eternity. Christ, however, by His grace and the gift of
righteousness, enables man to reign in this world, and to reign through
righteousness in time and eternity.
Salvation means reigning. As formerly rebellious slaves, we are now established in kingship, and
described as “more than conquerors” (Rom. 8:37) in Christ, because we are also kings.
The full meaning of salvation cannot be understood apart from the fact of reigning. The multiple
use of the word “reign” in Romans makes clear the centrality of reigning in the doctrine of
redemption. To defer this fact to another world is a false separation into two alien realms—one
(the material) surrendered to one god, and the other (spiritual) reserved for the other god. Neither
is Biblical.
St. Paul is emphatic: we “reign in life.” The Biblical doctrine of salvation requires it.
A Word in Season: Daily Messages on the Faith for All of Life (7 Volumes)
By R. J. Rushdoony. These daily messages on the faith for all of life are unlike
any compilation of Christian “devotional” ever published. In these pages, you
won’t find the overly introspective musings of a Christian pietist; what you’ll
discover are the hard-hitting convictions of a man whose sole commitment was
faithfulness to God’s law-word and representing that binding Word to his
readers.

Although Dr. R. J. Rushdoony is most known for his scholarly works on theology, history,
philosophy, economics, education, and statecraft, A Word in Season reveals the intense, but
simple, approach to applying one’s faith to every area of life and thought. This is all done in a
format of bite-sized readings on the uncompromising faith.
The multi-volume series is taken from over 430 articles written by Rushdoony over the span of
25 years (1966-1991) for the California Farmer, an agricultural periodical that provided him a
regular column entitled “The Pastor’s Pulpit.” It has long been a desire of many to see these
insightful and challenging articles published in a book format. We’re happy to announce that the
wait is over. Read and enjoy!

Faith & Action the Collected Articles of R. J. Rushdoony from the
Chalcedon Report, 1965-2004
Faith and Action is the complete collection of the essays of R. J.
Rushdoony written for the Chalcedon Report between 1965 and 2001 along
with several transcripts of his recorded talks. The large volume The Roots
of Reconstruction only contained his Chalcedon Report essays up until
1985, so most of the essays included in Faith & Action were unavailable to readers for many
years until now.
In order to make the author’s knowledge more accessible, this three-volume collection features
some of the most extensive indexing we’ve ever done including a General Index, a History
Index, a Scripture Index, a Works Cited Index, and a Chalcedon Report Directory. A total of 183
pages of indexing! This handsome set of books is a must have for any serious library.
The central theme of this collection of essays is Christian Reconstruction, which to Rushdoony
meant the responsibility of Christian citizenship in the Kingdom of God. For him, his central
drive behind his research and writing was to move men to faith and action.
Rushdoony was primarily an essayist who vigorously and prolifically wrote on a multiplicity of
subjects, issues, and dis-ciplines. Despite his being critical of both the contemporary church for
its compro-mise and the humanistic state for its will to be as God, these essays are replete with
Rushdoony’s undying faith in the victory of God in history.
Rushdoony’s “big idea” was Christian Reconstruction which centered not on a pursuit of
political power but rather an equipping of Christians to take back government by means of self-
government in terms of God’s law.
This three-volume collection will no doubt serve the larger church for many generations as they
seek first the Kingdom of God in their spheres, and in their times.
Faith on Earth?
By Lou Poumakis. “Shall He find faith on the earth?” is a question Christians must
answer for they will decide the matter. Believers today have yet to appreciate the
magnitude of the responsibility God has placed on their shoulders. You may be
surprised and challenged as Lou Poumakis sets forth the eternal significance of
your personal efforts in this brief, thought-provoking volume. This book will
stimulate your thinking about faith on Christ’s terms. The church and the yet to be evangelized
world need this message.

Systematic Theology (in two volumes)
By R. J. Rushdoony. Theology belongs in the pulpit, the school, the workplace,
the family and everywhere. Society as a whole is weakened when theology is
neglected. Without a systematic application of theology, too often people
approach the Bible with a smorgasbord mentality, picking and choosing that
which pleases them. This two-volume set addresses this subject in order to assist
in the application of the Word of God to every area of life and thought.

Infallibility: An Inescapable Concept
By R. J. Rushdoony. Infallibility is an inescapable concept. If men refuse to ascribe
infallibility to Scripture, it is because the concept has been transferred to something
else. Booklet now part of the author’s Systematic Theology.
Sovereignty
By R. J. Rushdoony. The word sovereignty means one who is above all. It is the
supreme and highest power. The Christian defines the Sovereign Lord as unlimited,
independent, with original authority.
For fallen man, sovereignty belongs to the state because the state is the source of
law. Since the Christian can have no other gods (Ex. 20:3), history is defined appropriately by
Augustine as a conflict between the City of Man and the City of God. As in all conflicts, we
must choose this day whom we will serve.
Calvinists often limit the doctrine of sovereignty to a systematic theological definition of God.
Much more work is needed in developing the implications of sovereignty for the Kingdom of
God and its application in terms of the law-word of God.
In this posthumously published volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the comprehensive
implications of God’s sovereignty with a clear eye to critiquing the various places where man
posits sovereignty-especially the sovereign state. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to
understand the crises of our times.

The Church Is Israel Now
By Charles D. Provan. For the last century, Christians have been told that God has
an unconditional love for persons racially descended from Abraham. Membership
in Israel is said to be a matter of race, not faith. This book repudiates such a

blessings of Israel were transferred to all those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior.

Pierre Viret: The Angel of the Reformation
This publication marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Pierre Viret
with the first full biography in English of this remarkable and oft-overlooked early
Reformer. R. A. Sheats pens the fascinating history and life of this important early
light of the Protestant Reformation who, after nearly five centuries of relative
obscurity, is now enjoying a renewed interest in his history and scholarship. The
republication of the life and works of Pierre Viret truly comes at its proper time, inspiring future
generations to continue the work of advancing Christ’s Kingdom throughout the world.
Pierre Viret
1511-1571
Pierre Viret, the son of a tailor, was born in the town of Orbe, eighteen miles north of Lausanne,
Switzerland. Though raised in obscurity, he grew to become a crucial Reformed leader during
the infancy of the Protestant Reformation in French Switzerland. Viret, together with his closest
associates John Calvin and William Farel, formed the Swiss Triumvirate, the three leading
Reformers in the French-speaking world. Known as the Angel of the Reformation because of his
extraordinary Christian character and temperament, Viret was a model pastor during his ministry
in Lausanne, Geneva, and France. Most of his ministry was served in Lausanne where he
developed the Lausanne Academy. That institution would later relocate and become the Genevan
Academy. After almost thirty years’ ministry in Lausanne and Geneva, Viret spent his last ten
years in fruitful ministry in France as the leader of the French Reformed Church. He theological
output was immense, with over forty books to his credit. In his day he was a leading authority on
political theory, applied Biblical Law, economics, and apologetics.
“This new biography of the great French Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret is a groundbreaking
venture. Not only has R. A. Sheats given us the first full (and exhaustively illustrated!) biography
of Viret in English, but has achieved this feat with impeccable scholarship, making very
generous use of the available sources. She has, in the manner of her great predecessor Merle d’
Aubigne, entered into the very spirit of our Reformer, an achievement which she has rendered in
a most engaging and attractive style.”
-Jean-Marc Bethoud, Historian and Theologian, Lausanne
“R. A. has written a superb biography on our Swiss Reformer that is both warmhearted and
scholarly. We anticipate a soon translation into French.”

The Sovereignty of God
By Arthur W. Pink. First published in 1918, The Sovereignty of God by Arthur
W. Pink is one of the most comprehensive studies on God’s decrees that are
based on scripture alone, Sola Scriptura. Pink begins with a question which
every person needs to answer, and more especially those of the household of
faith: “Who is regulating the affairs on this earth today—God or the Devil?”
Pink continues with great insight and scripture references concerning God’s sovereignty in
Operation, Salvation, and Reprobation. He also addresses Human Responsibility, our attitude
toward His Sovereignty, and reflects on the Difficulties and Objections to this doctrine.
In time past, present, and future when practical preaching replaces doctrinal exposition of
Scripture, an evil malady occurs and mankind reverts back to the lawless, listless, and lustful
condition whereby man determines what is good and evil; a denial of the Divine Rights of the
triune God as expressed in ALL of scripture, starting with Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God . .
.” This evil malady ceases when the Creator and Sustainer of Life is exalted to and revered as the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Man being relegated to his rightful place, in the dust.
The doctrine of the sovereignty of God restores the Divine Rights of the Creator and revitalizes
the Christian, which motivates him to serve and take dominion in every area of thought and life;
the realization that “. . . If God be for us, who can be against us?” We are living in a time in
which these words need to be our battle cry! As you go forward remember, “For by Him were all
things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:
and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist” (Col. 1:16–17).
God’s Sovereignty is the very basis of Christian thinking, a presupposition in which every area
of thought and life begin and end with God. A value desperately needed today: giving God the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit their glory due.

The Will of God or the Will of Man?
By Mark R. Rushdoony. God’s will and man’s will are both involved in man’s
salvation, but the church has split in answering the question, “Whose will is
determinative?”
Apologetics
R. J. Rushdoony was thoroughly convinced of the presuppositional approach
to apologetics. Much of his thought was established firmly upon this
philosophy, and his application of the Christian faith was driven by the
everlasting strength of this uncompromising polemic. In this impacting 3-part
series you will learn the essential elements for a Biblical defense of the faith as well as be
equipped to address important life questions from a thoroughly Christian perspective. This is a
must-have for your educational library.

Back Again Mr. Begbie: The Life Story of Rev. Lt. Col. R.J.G. Begbie OBE
The life of Rev. Lt Col R.J.G. Begbie OBE, is an important chronicle of the
twentieth century, a key era in history. In Dick Begbie, we have a distinguished
military officer, a successful business man, and then a Christian pastor and church
builder who founded new congregations in South Africa. We see old
Christendom’s son as a leader in the Christian revival of the West.
His personal history is an example of what the Holy Spirit has begun to do. The next generation
will see much more. In itself, this is a very good personal history. But it is also part of a greater
story now in its infancy, the story of the renewal of the Western world. The pre-Darwinian West
began the evangelization of the world, and that mission is now being continued by others
Old Christendom is indeed in process of collapse, but it is also taking steps to Christianize the
whole world and to make a new Christendom. This is a fragment of that story.

Teach Me While My Heart Is Tender: Read Aloud Stories of Repentance and
Forgiveness
By Andrea Schwartz. Many people consider young children unable to handle
difficult Biblical doctrines. Our Savior had so much confidence that children were
able to receive his teachings that He presented children as examples that adults
should follow as they entered the Kingdom. Not only are tenderhearted children
ready to receive the Word, they have a receptivity to it that should not be ignored by their parents
and teachers.
Andrea Schwartz has compiled three stories drawn from her family-life experiences to help
parents teach children how the faith applies to every area of life. They confront the ugly reality
of sin, the beauty of godly repentance, and the necessity of forgiveness. The stories are meant to
be read by parents and children together. The interactions and discussions that will follow serve
to draw families closer together.
This little volume is a much needed antidote to the pietistic, sentimental attitudes of our day.

The Biblical Trustee Family: Understanding God’s Purpose for Your
Household
By Andrea Schwartz. God’s basic institution is the family, and the Biblical family
lives and operates in terms of a calling greater than itself - the Kingdom of God. In
an age when the family is disparaged, warred against, and treated as a mere
convention, it becomes the duty of Christians to bring God’s plan for the family to
listening ears. That’s what Andrea Schwartz has accomplished in this collection of essays on The
Biblical Trustee Family.
Stemming from her long years in homeschooling. Andrea elevates the Kingdom mandate as the
driving purpose behind God’s creation of the family, and the family’s central task: education.
Her passion is to equip Christian families - especially homeschooling mothers - not only with the
tools of learning, but the tools of dominion.

Faith & Wellness: Resisting the State Control of Healthcare by Restoring the
Priestly Calling of Doctors
By R.J. Rushdoony. Abortion, Euthanasia. Socialized Healthcare.
Statist regulations. Quackery. Addiction. These are the modern symptoms of a
disease that has infected Western medicine for thousands of years: the disease of
humanism. In a series of thirteen “Medical Reports,” R. J. Rushdoony traced the Christian and
pagan roots of Western medicine in history, and demonstrated how humanist thought has
produced vicious fruit in both modern medical practices and in the expectations of patients.
How do we heal the medical profession? Rushdoony understood that finger-pointing will not
solve our problems. Because the plague of humanism will inevitably lead to death and no
wellness, it is the responsibility of the Church - and the Christian medical professionals with
her—to develop a thoroughly Biblical theology of medicine and to teach it.
Rushdoony lays foundations for this by explaining the connection between salvation and healing,
establishing the vital importance of treating the whole man (body and spirit), and renewing the
vision for doctors to embrace their priestly callings. This is an essential read for anyone who
wants to reform health care.
This paperback books includes all the Medical Reports once part of the Roots of Reconstruction.
57
Spanning subjects from the Reformed faith to the Trinity, life, suffering, prayer, the Bible,
church, wisdom, and much more, you’ll hear Rushdoony in a way you may not have heard him
before. You’ll sense he’s speaking directly to you in pastoral fashion, and you’ll enjoy every
chapter.
This volumes are must have for any Christian of any age and experience.

MEP Daniel Hannan (a British representative to the European Union). We engage a host of other
experts from both sides of the gurney, meeting patients suffering the burdens of socialized
medicine and doctors isolated from their patients by crippling regulation.
This film goes miles beneath the surface of ObamaCare to expose the 100-year progression of
socialized medicine in America. Traveling to my home country of Scotland, I ferret out the eerie
truth about waiting lines, death panels, and total disregard for human life in Great Britain’s
socialized healthcare system.

Bell Mountain (Bell Mountain Series, Vol. 1)
By Lee Duigon. The first novel from Chalcedon’s new label, Storehouse Press!
The world is going to end … as soon as Jack and Ellayne ring the bell on top of
Bell Mountain. No one has ever climbed the mountain, and no one has ever seen
the bell. But the children have a divine calling to carry out the mission, and it
sweeps them into high adventure.
For the world is already changing, and fast: legends come to life, strange beasts emerge from the
forest, bandits and slave traders hunt the helpless, and war rumbles on the borderlands. The
children must make their way through all these perils—not knowing that a professional killer has
been sent to stop them.
For there are others who know the secret of the bell … a terrible secret, only hinted at in the
sacred writings. But do they understand God’s plan any better than the children?
The world has been shaken to its foundations before. Will this be the final shaking?

The Glass Bridge (Bell Mountain Series, Vol. 7)
By Lee Duigon. In the seventh installment of the Bell Mountain Series...Can faith
do what pride and power can’t? In obedience to God, the boy king, Ryons, with
only half his tiny army, crosses the mountains to invade the Thunder King’s
domains.
The new First Prester, Lord Orth, a man of peace, is called to lead a savage nation in a war for
freedom and survival—and to deliver God’s word to Heathen peoples who have never known it.
At the top of Golden Pass, wealth beyond calculation lies waiting for whoever can take it. Will it
be the king’s man, Baron Roshay Bault, or an unscrupulous lord with a renegade army behind
him?
Confronted by perils they can barely understand, with no safe choices set before them, the heroes
of Obann must risk their lives on the glass bridge that can only be crossed by faith.

The Throne (Bell Mountain Series, Vol. 9)
By Lee Duigon. The Thunder King has been destroyed—or has he actually
reappeared in Obann’s greatest city, to claim it as his prey?
In city and in forest, the boy king’s loyal servants struggle to preserve his throne.
But it will be a long journey home for King Ryons and his army, while ambitious
and unfaithful men scheme to take away his kingdom.
Nothing in the city of Obann is what it seems to be: evil masquerades as good, while good must
hide behind a semblance of evil. The king’s chief spy must pose as the usurper’s trusted
adviser—but will he be able to find the help he needs to mount a successful resistance?
For God has chosen Ryons to be king, and Ryons’ people must find friends in unexpected places.
Join the heroes of Bell Mountain as they fight for Ryons’ throne!

The Temptation (Bell Mountain Series, Vol. 11)
By Lee Duigon. Across the river from the great city of Obann lies a greater city,
but a dead one—the ruins of Old Obann, destroyed in the Day of Fire a thousand
years ago: the seat of Obann’s Empire, now a place of death and desolation. But do
its ruins contain the secrets of the Empire, and its power? Can the distant past be
brought to life again? The usurper who has seized the city from King Ryons now
seeks that power for himself. The past calls to him, and he hears its voice.
Far away, beyond the mountains in the east, Lord Orth, the exiled First Prester, prepares to bring
God's Word to the nations of the Heathen; but he is also needed, more than ever, in Obann. His
heart is set on his mission, but Jack and Ellayne must persuade him to come home.
But once in Obann, the usurpers will surely try to kill him...

Jenna’s discovery drills into the heart of reality itself—and that’s why the Establishment is so
determined to suppress it. How far will they go to hide the truth? Big-name scientists, the
Pentagon, and shady politicians plot and scheme to silence her, one way or another. They did it
once, seven years earlier. This time the stakes are incalculably higher.
Jenna has more than just a scientific revolution in her hands. If the Establishment can’t stop her,
the whole world will be changed in ways not even Jenna can imagine.
