Judges (Remastered)

What makes a judge just? In this chapter, Rushdoony explores the profound role of judges as not merely state officials, but as ministers of God’s justice. Courts must transcend popular opinion and political power, representing a law higher than man. Without godly judges, justice is corrupted into tyranny—whether by the elite or the mob. Rushdoony reminds us that true reform must reach the bench as well as the pulpit, and that without the fear of the Lord, every courtroom risks becoming a stage for injustice.
