We are a collaborative community website centred around Christian theonomy. Theonomy is the theological claim that God’s transcendent moral standards – His “torah” encoded in the Christian scriptures – are obligatory upon all people, including those who act as God’s servants in the realm of civil government. God’s law functions both as an obligation upon human authorities and as a transcendent limitation upon their natural tendency to “do what is right in their own eyes.” It provides fixed standards of justice and strictly regulates the human sanctions which God directs to be imposed upon sin and crime.
