Everything about The Chalcedon Foundation totally explained
The
Chalcedon Foundation is a
Christian Reconstructionist organization founded by
Rousas John Rushdoony. Named for the
Council of Chalcedon(External Link
), it has also included well-known
theologians such as
Gary North, who later founded his own organization, the Institute for Christian Economics.
The Chalcedon Foundation was officially founded by R. J. Rushdoony in the summer of
1965. In
1971, Gary North was hired part time, and two years later North was hired full-time while
Greg Bahnsen was also hired. Rushdoony founded Ross House Books in
1976, the same year in which North and Bahnsen leave the Foundation to pursue careers elsewhere. In
1977, the Foundation's first office building is built. A decade later, the organization's
Newsletter became a magazine, the
Chalcedon Report. On
February 8,
2001, founder R. J. Rushdoony died. He was succeeded by his son Mark Rushdoony, who continues to run the organization. In
2004, Ross House Books merged with Chalcedon, and in
2005, the
Chalcedon Report was renamed
Faith for All of Life.
In presenting a
theonomic view of biblical law, the foundation is often referred to as promoting
theocracy and
dominionism. According to the group's web site:
"We believe that the whole Word of God must be applied to all of life. It isn't only our duty as individuals, families and churches to be Christian, but it's also the duty of the state, the school, the arts and sciences, law, economics, and every other sphere to be under Christ the King. Nothing is exempt from His dominion. We must live by His Word, not our own."
