Rushdoony: the Biblical smorgasbord

Sunday, June 15, 2025
    Trinity Sunday
    Feast of Evelyn Underhill, Mystical Writer, 1941
Meditation:
    These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the LORD’S instruction. They say to the seers, “See no more visions!” and to the prophets, “Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions. Leave this way, get off this path, and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!”
    —Isaiah 30:9-11 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Theology belongs in the pulpit, the school, the work-place, the family, and everywhere. Society as a whole is weakened when theology is neglected. Without a systematic application of theology, too often people approach the Bible with a smorgasbord mentality, picking and choosing that which pleases them.
    ... Rousas J. Rushdoony (1916-2001), Systematic Theology, v. I, Ross House Books, 2003, v.1, p. xv (see the book)
