Michael McVicar, the author of 'Christian Reconstruction: R.J. Rushdoony and American Religious Conservatism' (amzn.to/3kErJ82), joins me to discuss R.J. Rushdoony and the movement that he started.

Thanks for that. It will be very helpful for my PHD thesis on homeschooling and reconstructionism.

Goodness, he didn’t want people to just behave differently, but THINK the way he did.

Didn’t a scotus justice just blame his wife for hanging the American flag upside down?

Rushdoony was one of (if not THE) most important theologians of the 20th century.

[@donaldwhitted5328]

Amen !

[@matthewhendricks4308]

A very informative interview! Well researched on both ends. Good questions and good answers! Thank you both for doing this. It’s obvious that this is the product of a lot of thought and work on researching Rushdoony

Rushdoony is awesome! Sad you guys are not on board. I read some Bahnsen and have never looked back!

[@metaldave08096]

Rushdoony was horrible.

[@ericwagner4419]

I totally agree! Rushdoony was the most significant and visionary Christian thinker of the 20th century,

@@ericwagner4419 Wow, really? Of all the Christian thinkers to admire in the 20th century, you're going to pick the guy who thought the South should've won the Civil War and is a Holocaust denier? The guy who supports severe corporal punishment and the stoning of children for disobedience and wives for adultery? Yeesh, you guys sure know how to pick 'em! "Paul Tillich? Reinhold Niebuhr? C. S. Lewis? Nah, forget those guys. Give me the theocratic, racist, neo-Confederate, woman subordinating, Jew hating, Christian dominionist! That's the guy I want representing my faith!"

Let me guess. Michael is a Democrat

[@Raydensheraj]

Let me guess....you hate secular liberal democratic values and the enlightenment. Meaning ...you must despise the founders and are probably a neo Confederate or Ron Paul Rightwing Libertarian.

I was on his mailing list. I never found anything he said I could quarrel with. Check him out for yourself. Go to the source. There's always someone who is critical.
