  • Restitution

    October 9, 2026 · 7 min

    In “Restitution,” Rushdoony argues that restitution stands at the very heart of Biblical justice, grounding both God’s law and Christ’s atoning work in the principle that wrongs must be made right. Scripture consistently requires offenders…

  • Social Justice

    October 2, 2026 · 6 min

    Our prisons have become breeding grounds for violence and extortion, as illustrated by a young man murdered for refusing to pay $5 a week to a gang in Los Angeles Men’s Central Jail, highlighting that the humanistic assumption that…

  • Necessity Versus Law

    September 23, 2026 · 7 min

About the show

Faith and Action is the complete collection of the essays of R. J. Rushdoony written for the Chalcedon Report between 1965 and 2001 along with several transcripts of his recorded talks. The large volume The Roots of Reconstruction only contained his Chalcedon Report essays up until 1985, so most of the essays included in Faith & Action were unavailable to readers for many years until now.
