Hear the application of presuppositional apologetics and the transcendental argument in this head-to-head challenge. This formal debate between Dr. Bahnsen and atheist lawyer (former ACLU) Edward Tabashat the University of California (Davis), is a great follow-up to the Bahnsen/Stein debate. Witness again, how an atheist fails to wrestle with fundamental philosophical issues.
The seemingly great exception to this related-essays approach was in fact not an exception: The Institutes of Biblical Law (1973). This was his magnum opus, a book of over 800 pages. It was the footnoted version of five years of sermons, 1968-72. This collection of sermons is like no other in modern publishing history. He will be remembered most of all because of this book. Harold O. J. Brown named it the most important Christian book of 1973 in his 1974 Christianity Today column – an opinion that I suspect was not shared by the editors.
In this bold new work, P. Andrew Sandlin explores the full meaning of the resurrection, explains why it is central to the gospel, clears age-old confusion about Christians’ glorification and immortality, and exhibits the resurrection’s life- and world-changing power.
(This book is NOT about God's law as a way of Christian salvation, rather as the way in which God wants His people to show His love among His people, as well as to all people of the world. Editor’s Note CRB)
For over a century, most conservative Christian social thinkers and theologians have denied all three of these assertions.Some of them have even gone so far as to argue that God's law is inherently tyrannical. They have argued thatthe church can survive and even prosper under any legal order, except one: the rule of God's law. In this assertion, they join forces with secular humanists, occultists, and other assorted ethical rebels.
Millions of Christians, sadly, have not recognized the continuing authority of God's law or its many applications to modern society. They have thereby reaped the whirlwind: cultural and intellectual impotence. They have surrendered this world to the devil. They have implicitly denied the power of the death and resurrection of Christ. They have served as footstools of the enemies of God. But humanism's free ride is coming to an end. This book serves as an introduction to this woefully neglected topic (Inside Flap, By This Standard)
"For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."Lord Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount, Matthew, Chapter 5:18,19
"Christians who claim that our ethical standards are restricted to the New Testament cannot, if consistent, deal with the full range of moral issues in our day. Ask them whether it is now immoral to have sexual relations with animals. They will gasp at the thought, but find nothing forbidding it in the New Testament scriptures. At best they can say “fornication” is condemned, only thereby presupposing what they originally denied — namely, that New Testament morality is identical with the standards of the Old Testament (in which case “fornication” applies to the same outlawed acts in both dispensations). Just ask them whether it is now immoral for a woman to marry her father. They may say yes, but they will not find that specific case of incest dealt with in the New Testament scriptures. Ask them whether rape is a punishable crime. Again, no New Testament directive covers it. Ask them what the equitable punishment should be for rape. No New Testament answer. Ask them whether they can show that murder should be a capital crime today. Once more they will find no specific New Testament answer to that question, despite the fact that many conservative believers assume that it is there."

Chief Justice Roy Moore believes the state must acknowledge the moral principles on which America was founded and that it is not illegal to do so. While the separation of church and state may be a credible and legitimate tenet, it has been largely misconstrued and abused during the last forty years.
Moore was sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. His critics, both within conservative circles and without, have maintained that he violated the law by disobeying the order of a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments. But Moore brilliantly argues that those who have ordered him to violate his oath have, in fact, broken the law.
So Help Me God will articulate why he believes elected and appointed government officials have the right and the obligation to acknowledge God as the foundation of American government and jurisprudence.
