Recenzii
A professor of economics at Regent University, Baugus brings a unique perspective to a biblical topic. . . This is not the usual biblical commentary, but for those who are interested in the ongoing relevance of the biblical view(s) of the world and how it should (or could) function, it is one worth examining.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to read a scholar who takes the Bible seriously as a teacher of wisdom, without adopting a "fideist" approach of interest solely to believers. Brian Baugus makes an intriguing claim: that the law of Deuteronomy is a form of constitutional arrangement for Israel, not unlike our own Constitution, and as such embodies a vision not of law solely, but also of the culture and habits of mind necessary for a society to flourish. Baugus is especially deft at revealing the astonishing amount of freedom God grants the human person.
