Law and Equality

Video summary lecture (Andrea Schwartz)​

questions for thought & discussion

  1. ​Explain why the failure to set and apply an objective, absolute standard apart from man results in rootless individuals and a humanistic state.
    ​
  2. How does the limited privilege of citizenship relate to the concept of unequal yoking.

  3. Rushdoony points out that equality is a mathematical term that does not lend itself well to a discussion of men and their relation to one another.  Choose a  word or phraseology which better describes man's relation to other men.

application

​One of the surest ways to identify whether you understand a subject is to write a point of view paper (sometimes referred to as a position paper).  This exercise helps to unearth areas of confusion, uncertainty, and/or disagreement, many times revealing that a number of unanswered questions remain. Once completed, you may submit your paper for comments.
 
After formulating your position(s) on the subjects covered in each lesson, a good next step is to engage in conversation (with your spouse, children, parents, friends, or co-workers) to better hone your skill in communicating the concepts you have learned and are assimilating into your own thinking.  Do not be concerned about “messing up” or doing it the “wrong way” as you will do plenty of both!  As with anything worth doing, practice will refine this skill, which is vital in order to fulfill the Great Commission.  If you find you need some one-on-one interaction, you may submit a question or request an appointment.
