'God is Just' covers a very important set of topics: the applicability of God's law to civil society. Contrasting the perfection of God's law with the tyranny of modern law, Stephen Halbrook presents a well-reasoned and well documented case for God and His law.

No one, including myself, will agree with everything in the book (I disagree with his cavalier dismissal of the levirate and land laws, for example; as well as his entire treatment of female slaves) but that must be expected in a book of such length. These books all must be more of the beginning of a discussion than the be all and end all.


This book should prove useful both as an introduction for those Christians who are confused or uninformed about the role of God's law in civil society and a valuable resourced for those of us already committed to the theonomic thesis.

At the current time this book is available for free download, so I would advise everyone to run out and 'buy' a copy :)
