Rushdoony and Blumenfeld warn that public schooling is a means of controlling the future by shaping children away from Christian faith. Blumenfeld says students face four major risks: academic (functional illiteracy), spiritual (humanist/anti-Christian influences), moral (drugs, promiscuity, blasphemy), and physical (violence). They argue parents are mistaken to assume their child will be unharmed...

Rushdoony argues that hospitality and charity are moral institutions, commanded by God and central to biblical faith not optional niceties. From Israel to the early church, caring for strangers and fellow believers was essential to covenant life and survival, especially under persecution. Scripture commands hospitality, but also sets clear boundaries: charity is not unconditional and must honor di...

Rushdoony and Samuel Blumenfeld argue that progressive public education—especially John Dewey’s “look-say”/whole-word approach—functions as a modern form of idolatry by replacing the primacy of God’s Word with the primacy of the image, training children to guess meaning from pictures rather than read words accurately. Blumenfeld contends this shift is not neutral pedagogy but a deliberate program...

True Christian discipline is not about punishment, but about living under Christ’s authority. Rooted in the word disciple, discipline shapes character through self-control, ordered homes, faithful churches, and purposeful schools. When authority is grounded in God’s Word—not personalities—discipline brings freedom, clarity, and growth. In the home, school, and church, discipline trains hearts and...

The Bible in the Curriculum: A Separate Subject or Foundation for Each Subject? (Christian Education: Christian Schools) Rushdoony argues that the Bible must be taught as a subject and function as the integrating foundation for every subject, because Scripture is not a “devotional add-on” but God’s authoritative “command-word” that alone gives meaning, coherence, and true knowledge in a created, l...

Rushdoony argues that education can never be neutral because creation itself is not neutral: everything is made by God, given purpose and boundaries, so there are no “brute facts” detached from meaning. The myth of neutrality, he says, is really the logic of the Fall (Gen. 3:5)—man claiming autonomy (self-law) over against theonomy (God’s law)—and it shows up in modern humanistic, state-run school...

In this powerful and far-reaching lecture, R.J. Rushdoony challenges the humanistic view of history and reasserts a thoroughly biblical understanding of the past, present, and future. He argues that all history is guided by God's sovereign hand and cannot be rightly understood apart from Scripture. Contrasting the despair and confusion of modern historians and educators with the confidence of a Ch...
