More and more, folks are seeing the alternatives and they’re seeing much better answers. You don’t have to hold your nose and stomach the racialism in order to get the Protestant political theology. You don’t have to tolerate heterodox (at best) anthropology in order to build better civil understanding. You don’t have to center ethnicity as your core virtue in order to seek Christendom.
In the end, the chapter raises important questions about liberalism and political theology, but undermines its case through bombastic vanity, youthful dishonoring of our spiritual elders, hypocritical whining about critics, failing to wrestle with or even acknowledge the ethno-nationalist implications present within Wolfe’s own framework, and a misleading characterization of their ideas as retrieval without plainly noting vital points of discontinuity.
Dr. Hobbs’s stinging memoir pulls back the curtain on the type of culture that has been the breeding ground for the worst of American Christian fascistic views for decades now. She lived through it—right literally through the middle of it. She’s an eyewitness who needs to be heard.
While many people, including his own students, may be unaware, Talbot was an ardent defender of the Lost Cause, including its worst aspects, going so far as to affirm the Dred Scott decision and the KKK, and to preach racist propaganda from The Birth of a Nation, smearing black people, from the pulpit in several ways.
I am told repeatedly that “the textbooks never told you” all the allegedly hard truths about the Civil War, slavery, and racism. There’s just one big problem with this thesis. . . .
As Christians, we do not start with advocacy for a congressional bill and then go mining in scripture for prooftexts.

A couple people have asked about James White’s podcast regarding the Kavanaugh hearings and laws for witnesses. In an effort to describe the conflagration surrounding the Ford testimony, the discussion turned to the law of God and its application in modern times. “Kinda sounds like Theonomy,” was the thought—which would be a novel thing for someone who has criticized Theonomy. So, the question was asked. Let’s examine it a bit.
Christians, it’s time to think a bit more deeply about the Jordan Peterson moment. Unless you’ve been asleep and on a different planet for the past several weeks, you’ve probably seen a video clip of the increasingly popular social commentator Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Most recently, Peterson was rocketed to the precarious and perhaps not-what-one-bargained-for, but nevertheless real, spotlight of internet stardom by brilliantly handling an aggressive feminist interviewer with raw logic, facts, and truth.
It is unfortunate that theonomists in the past have had to spend more time saying what Theonomy is not than what it is. There are good reasons for why this has been the case, but the fact can also leave newcomers and critics alike frustrated when searching for a concise definition which is both broad enough and distinctive enough to be helpful. In this chapter, I will give my version of that definition. I will also discuss some of the reasons past theonomists so often have had to spend time saying what Theonomy is not, as well as often take a defensive posture. I will show you why some of these reasons are not only expedient, but necessary.
