I have been listening to many of his sermons and lectures. He is quite good. Anyone know more about him and do you appreciate his material?

Paul wrote a foreword to my book A Conquered Kingdom: Biblical Civil Government.

An extract from it reads:

Quote:

In his work on Biblical Civil Government Daniel Ritchie sets forth helpful insights for the proper understanding and application of Biblical Theonomy. In the genre of Rushdoony, North, Bahnsen and DeMar, Ritchie explores the many aspects of Theonomic Reconstruction and Biblical Postmillennialism in clear and understandable language. Ritchie’s work is both doctrinally valuable as well as practically useful and his Theonomic proofs from Reformation history during the time of Calvin and Knox are refreshing. With over 1400 footnotes Ritchie’s work provides strategic insight as to the issue of God’s Law and the Civil Magistrate.

Moreover, he based the following lecture on a section of my book:

I try to catch him on video every Sunday afternoon. I also get his newsletter re email, as well having the Institute for Theonomic Reformation on my links. He's quite good.
