Reviews of A Defense of God's Law

Here are some excerpts from two reviews of our film A Defense of God's Law:

Video Review: A Defense of God's Law
(by Caleb Hayden, July 21, 2007)

My first reaction to the video was that it's an overall well-produced, biblically solid argument for applying Scripture to every institution and all of life in our day. It contains commentary and narrative with the host and producer, Scott Eash, as well as interview clips with William Einwechter, some comments by Stanley Eash (Scott's father), and video excerpts from a Doug Phillips lecture about God's Law. In addition, as with any documentary, it contains attention-keeping, high-caliber illustrations and images...

One portion of the video that I especially appreciated was Mr. Einwechter's discussion of legalism. Was David a legalist when he said, "Oh how I love thy law"? Was Jesus, when He commanded us to obey even the least of the commandments? Was Paul, when he stated that the Law of God is good and holy? I Timothy 1:8 teaches that the Law is good if we use it lawfully, but legalism is an abuse of God's Law. This might entail 1) attempting to earn salvation by keeping the Law, 2) emphasizing the letter without due regard for the spirit of the Law, 3) emphasizing human effort to keep the Law apart from God's Spirit, or 4) adding human tradition, or man's law...

In conclusion, I encourage everyone to purchase Scott Eash's fine production, A Defense of God's Law. He has crafted a thorough and weighty case for understanding and applying God's Law in every area of life. Even for those who are already familiar with the great writings of men such as Bahnsen, North, DeMar, and Rushdoony, this video will reinforce and add a fresh perspective to the debate about applying God's good and holy Law.

Review: A Defense of God's Law
(by Jesse Paine, November 30, 2007)

A brother in Christ recently sent me a DVD he had created entitled A Defense of God's Law. I decided to watch it and see what I thought. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the film and the substance of what was presented. Mr. Eash superbly demonstrates the necessity of following God's law, as opposed to man's, and explores the foundations and implications of the debate over theonomy vs. autonomy.

In addition, the film also discusses the nature and dangers of legalism, the reasons for and applicability of case laws of the Old Testament, the rise and effects of dispensationalism, and the differences between the ceremonial and moral laws of God.

This film was very educational and facilitated some good discussions as a family about this important topic. I would encourage you to get it and think for yourselves about how the law of God is and should be applied to today and just how that would effect the way we live our daily lives.
