Discover Rushdoony’s View of the Church

Godly Social Order Begins Here

“The church exists not for itself, but to bring all things under Christ.” ~ R. J. Rushdoony

Christians read Corinthians for different reasons: church problems, divine order, gifts of the Spirit, or the resurrection. Rushdoony saw something much greater.

He believed Paul’s letters to Corinth were a blueprint for building mature Christians capable of exercising leadership, responsibility, and dominion under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Corinth was a troubled church filled with division, immaturity, pride, compromise, and confusion.

In other words, it looked a lot like modern Christianity.

Here’s some of what you you’ll discover:

The Church Is a Training Ground for Kingdom People - The church is not merely a place for worship. It is God’s training center for men and women called to transform every area of life.

The Cross Is the Foundation of Civilization - Christianity begins with the atonement. Every attempt to build society apart from Christ ultimately collapses.

The Gospel Transforms More Than Souls - Rushdoony shows how Paul’s teaching applies to family, authority, work, charity, law, culture, and social order.

Christianity Is a Call to Maturity - Corinthians repeatedly challenges believers to put away childish things and embrace responsibility.

The Resurrection Guarantees Victory - History is not moving toward defeat but toward the triumph of Christ’s Kingdom.

Grace and Law Belong Together - God’s grace does not abolish obedience. It empowers it.

Rushdoony believed Corinthians is not primarily about church administration. It is about preparing God’s people to live, build, lead, and govern under the authority of Jesus Christ in every sphere of life.
