A Lutheran Interpretation of Reformed Two Kingdom Theology: Some Observations and Considerations

The Reformed variety usually associated with Westminster Seminary West in Escondido California is often conflated with the Lutheran variety and this troubles Cooper. He wants to set the record straight. This has probably been furthered by the fact that to many, Westminster West also has (more or less) embraced a Lutheran Soteriology and understanding of sola fide.

2016: Theonomy Revisited

Every once in a while I feel it necessary to check-in with the Old Guard Theonomists. There aren't that many of them left.

The remaining voices, men like James Dobson and Pat Robertson are now in their eighties.
