Justice and Torture

Is justice even possible without God’s law? In this episode, we delve into Chalcedon Position Paper No. 68: “Justice and Torture.” R.J. Rushdoony confronts the roots of modern injustice—from coerced confessions to state-sanctioned torture—and traces them back to a single rejection: the Word of God. Unlike Greco-Roman law or modern humanism, Biblical law refused to convict on confession alone and forbade torture outright. But in turning from God’s law to the will of the state, the West has opened the door to totalitarianism, medicalized cruelty, and moral collapse. Join us as we uncover how real justice is not only possible—it’s promised—because “the books shall be opened.” This isn’t just legal theory. It’s the groundwork for judgment—and hope.
