Theonomy Old and New: A Reformed Baptist Assessment with Sam Waldron & Tom Hicks

Honest Conversations in Black and White

Theonomy, also known as Christian Reconstructionism, has seen a revival in recent decades. The early movement, led by R.J.

In this video, Scott sits down with Dr. Sam Waldron and Dr. Tom Hicks to discuss their new book, Theonomy Old and New: A Reformed Baptist Assessment. They examine the historical roots of Theonomy, its postmillennial and ethical distinctives, and the modern rebranding as “General Equity Theonomy.”
