Applying Theonomy to Civil Law Rightly Requires the Right Cosmology

Applying Theonomy to Civil Law Rightly Requires the Right Cosmology

Author: David Fowler May 23, 2024 Duration: 21:40

Theonomy is predicated on the Triune God but it pertains to a certain cosmology. So, how are Christians to think of theonomy and its application in relation to a legal system the structure and content of which are now divorced from both its history and the cosmology that gave rise to it? David tackles that subject with a new two-part thesis for “applied theonomy.”

David Fowler brings a unique perspective to the God, Law & Liberty Podcast, shaped by his career as a licensed attorney and a dozen years serving in the Tennessee Senate. Having recently concluded his tenure as president of the Family Action Council of Tennessee, Fowler draws from deep practical experience in both legal frameworks and legislative battles. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a grounded examination of how foundational principles actually function-or fail to function-in the public square. Listeners will hear careful analysis of current events, legal precedents, and policy debates, all filtered through a commitment to constitutional fidelity and a Christian worldview. Fowler, also the author of works like *The Politics of Loving God* and *Recovering the Constitution*, doesn't shy away from contentious topics, instead offering reasoned arguments meant to equip people for thoughtful engagement. Each episode aims to connect the dots between divine truth, the rule of law, and the practical liberties we exercise daily. The conversation is built for those who want to move beyond soundbites and understand the deeper currents shaping our culture and our rights. It’s a podcast dedicated to the idea that faith and freedom are inextricably linked, and that preserving liberty requires both wisdom and courage.
