Theonomy Old and New: A Reformed Baptist Assessment

Theonomy or Christian Reconstructionism has seen a revival in the last decades. Theonomy Old was led by Rousas Rushdoony, Gary North, and Greg Bahnsen. It taught in the words of Bahnsen, “the abiding validity of the Mosaic law in exhaustive detail". Sam Waldron provides an eschatological and ethical critique of theonomy’s postmillennialism and ethical peculiarities and deviation from the Reformed tradition. Tom Hicks takes up the popular phrase characteristic of Theonomy New. Theonomy New speaks of itself as a “general equity theonomy” in an attempt to clothe itself in confessional language. Hicks provides a critique of this phraseology and shows that its intent is neither biblical nor confessional.
