About this listen

Faith and Action is the complete collection of the essays of R. J. Rushdoony written for the Chalcedon Report between 1965 and 2001 along with several transcripts of his recorded talks. The large volume The Roots of Reconstruction only contained his Chalcedon Report essays up until 1985, so most of the essays included in Faith & Action were unavailable to readers for many years until now.

  • Psychopaths
    Mar 4 2026

    In Psychopaths, Rushdoony argues that modern society’s replacement of accountability to God with accountability only to man has produced a culture stripped of conscience, absolutes, and moral restraint. By excluding biblical faith and God’s law from public life while legalizing pornography, abortion, and sexual perversion the state has fostered the very conditions that give rise to psychopaths who act without guilt or responsibility. Educated in value-free schools that teach self-law and moral autonomy, such individuals are not anomalies but logical products of a culture that denies divine authority. Rushdoony warns that a state which rejects God’s law inevitably governs by fiat power alone, multiplying lawlessness and destruction, and insists that only a return from autonomy to theonomy God’s law can restrain evil and restore sanity to men and nations. #Psychopaths #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalLaw #Theonomy #Humanism #MoralAbsolutes #FaithAndCulture

  • From Ape Man to Christian Man
    Feb 27 2026

    In “Covenant Wealth,” Rushdoony reframes wealth not as income level or social class, but as covenantal faithfulness measured by service to God’s Kingdom rather than material display. From a biblical perspective, rich, middle-class, and poor alike can be righteous or corrupt depending on their obedience to God’s law and purpose, because true wealth begins with man’s original calling to exercise dominion under God. Covenant wealth is therefore Kingdom gain building institutions, knowledge, culture, arts, and faithful labor that advance God’s reign in history whether or not it results in visible affluence. Such wealth may prosper the believer, but its primary purpose is always to prosper God’s Kingdom, redirecting resources away from vanity, status, and monuments to man, and toward lasting fruit under Christ’s lordship. The pressing question is not how much we possess, but what kingdom our labor, resources, and lives are building.

  • Everyday Romanticism
    Feb 25 2026

    In Everyday Romanticism, Rushdoony warns that popular Romanticism, far from being harmless sentiment, is a destructive mindset that replaces God’s reality with self-created dreams and demands instant fulfillment without responsibility, patience, or discipline. Whether expressed in distorted expectations of love, career, or revolution, Romanticism insists on life “on my terms,” erupting into rage, despair, or victimization when reality intrudes. Rushdoony shows how this temperament fuels broken marriages, personal failure, and even political terror by seeking regeneration through emotion or revolution rather than through God’s transforming grace. Only a biblical faith, he concludes, can shatter Romantic illusions, restore humility, and teach men and women to live faithfully, fruitfully, and responsibly within God’s real world. #EverydayRomanticism #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #Romanticism #BiblicalWisdom #Discipleship
