A Consuming Fire
Joel McDurmon's A Consuming Fire is a very clear and precise treatment of the cherem concept in Scripture. McDurmon argues that cherem laws pertain especially to the holiest place in the tabernacle and temple. Violations of these laws carry different penalties from those outside the cherem sphere. From this premise, McDurmon argues significant theses about continuities and discontinuities between Old and New Covenant law. This discussion is very significant in the debate over Theonomy. As McDurmon refreshes this debate, he exchanges views with many theologians of the past and present such as Rushdoony, North, Bahnsen and Kline. Some will be surprised to find that McDurmon acknowledges significant value to Kline's formulation, and even more to that of Vern Poythress. I learned a great deal about God's covenants from this book, and I would recommend it to any serious student of Scripture.-Dr. John M. FrameProfessor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy EmeritusReformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
The Bounds of Love
Joel McDurmon's The Bounds of Love is a new introduction to Theonomy, the view that Scripture, including the law of Moses, contains abiding principles for civil government. The book is written with exceptional clarity. It reviews the traditional case for theonomy developed by Rushdoony, Bahnsen, and North, and it adds some creative approaches to controversial questions. For example, McDurmon develops a new approach to the question of what laws carry over from the Mosaic covenant to the New, and which do not, and he presents an attractive and detailed portrait of what a theonomic society would look like in the twenty-first century. Though I do not endorse every statement and argument of the book, I pray that it will get a wide readership. It deals with biblical passages, themes, and principles of which the church today is almost entirely ignorant.-John M. FrameJ. D.

God's Law and Government in America
From the Introduction, by Joel McDurmon: The three sermons presented in this book exemplify the full-orbed worldview of early American Christianity we need to recover today. They remind us of a time not too far gone in which preachers were highly and broadly educated men who brought biblical worldview to bear in full force to every area of life. In these sermons, we see this especially in regard to the application of biblical law to civil government.As you proceed through these sermons, you will get a glimpse of how all the American liberties we hold dear-religious freedom, freedom of speech, the right to privacy, and more of our Bill of Rights-derived from the application of biblical worldview. Moreover, it was the pulpit that was the medium for teaching these biblical freedoms to the people, and molding and shaping the American Christian soul to love and embrace them passionately. It is not a stretch to say that American freedom was a child of the American pulpit.This new edition is released in the hope that it will inspire today's ministers to return to the example, power, vision, and magnificence shown by the forefathers of our America

The Bible & War in America
A long line of movies, video games, and enlistment promos betray the final transformation of the American perspective on war-what was once considered a specter is now a spectacle. The war machine, driven by power-hungry corporate and political interests, glamorizes the American military as the epitome of freedom-fighting gallantry while branding peace-loving Americans as cowardly or even unpatriotic. "Support our troops" is often sufficient to silence any opposition to American imperialism. No one, including the majority of well-meaning Christians, seems to consider that the best way to support American soldiers consists in returning to a biblical doctrine of war.In The Bible & War in Americ...
Building God's Kingdom
In this fascinating book, Julie Ingersoll draws on years of research, Reconstructionist publications, and interviews with believers to paint the most complete portrait of the Christian Reconstructionist movement yet published.
Leaving Left Behind
Positive psychologists have proven that positivity leads to success, but most Christians in America have chosen to believe a single eschatological theory that leads to pessimism and cynicism. Pessimistic Christians put themselves in Christian bubbles and focus on self-preservation, and when a mind is clouded by negativity, interpretations of biblical prophecy lean toward the pessimistic possibilities. The fantastic writing of the Left Behind books has popularized premillennial dispensationalism with good intentions, but that interpretation of biblical prophecy teaches that sinfulness will continually increase until Jesus throws up his hands in disgust and secretly raptures worthy Christians,...
