54 - Israel's Theocratic Republic

For the last couple of weeks we've been talking about the Justice system in ancient Israel; today we'll put that in the broader context of Israel's civil government. There's a lot that God doesn't tell us about the mechanics of administering the government, but there's a lot that He does tell us--and much of it emphasizes the necessity of a populace that knows God and His word.

This Episode Features: Written Law And Civil Liberties; Remedies For Oxen That Gore In The Street; G.K. Chesterton; Achan, Who Hath Stolen The Bacon; Cool Motive, Still Murder; The Bill Of Rights; Vote Harder; and An Awfully Libertarian Theocracy.
