Ivanhoe, I am growing very fond of Rushdoony. I am a novice in regards to Theonomy but it seems his critics tend to focus upon that one thing. Yet when I hear him (or Bahnsen) speak, "Theonomy" is not the driving force but a simple love for the Word of God. Now, granted, Bahnsen must use the term openly but it is in simple defense for the principle he has already established from scripture.
Rushdoony must have been a very humble and gracious man.

Since I doubt I will ever have formal education, it seems a man like Rushdoony would be my Professor. But what are some of the legitimate critiques of the man? (IOW, nobody is perfect)

Thanks for your reply.
Hello,
In case you didn't know, here are some free mp3s.
The Chalcedon Foundation - Faith for All of Life

As to good critiques of him--there really isn't an all around fair one. Theonomy Reformed Critique took issue at Bahnsen (and even then didn't do a good job of it). While he is unpopular on this board, the most interesting critique comes from Jim Jordan.

Rushdoony also needs to be critique on some aspects of OT law--just minor points.
