Tom Hicks on Theonomy

Jump to the 5:50 mark to hit the interview. Today we invited Tom Hicks to come on and talk about something he’s addressed on social media, in articles, and teaching—theonomy. It seems to be growing in popularity these days, and you all know we aren’t down with it. So what is theonomy and what is its appeal? Is it wrong to implement OT laws in societies around the world? How does this impact the mission of the church? What can people read, pro and con, about theonomy? Be sure to check out Tom’s article, Why is Theonomy Unbiblical?
