The Court (Remastered)

Every courtroom is a religious institution—whether it acknowledges God or not. In this chapter, Rushdoony demonstrates how biblical courts were rooted in God's law, guided by theological authority, and inseparable from the moral life of the community. When courts abandon divine law and claim the power to "bind and loose" apart from Scripture, they become instruments of tyranny or collapse into chaos. Without a shared moral foundation rooted in God’s word, law degenerates into coercion, and justice is replaced with bureaucratic violence. The courtroom, once sacred, becomes a stage for secular idolatry.
