A History Of The Idea Of "God's Law" (Theonomy): Its Origins, Development And Place In Political And Legal Thought, Marc A. Clauson

This work traces the Theonomic movement and its ideas from its roots in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into its modern form, placing Theonomy in context of legal, political, and economic philosophy.
