This is NOT an atheist:agnostic work.
Nor is it gnostic. Which is how it ended up in my list looking for the “lost”, non-conforming writings of olde that are not held to doctrine.
This is a Christian work.
So why two stars? I didn’t read past the introduction and half the first chapter. The review here is not of the book itself (which seems to be a fine god is great book, as it is); rather for the off site advertising that places this work on gnostic and agnostic/atheist questioning sites.
The author is making money by targeting people who have no interest in thes style of memoir. Knowing that there is little a buyer can do in returning it when the deceptive adverts are realised.
For a Christian writer: that’s not a very Cristian thing to do!
Questions 1-25, starting with "Didn't God hate the unborn infant Esau?" try to point the reader toward Calvinism, the doctrine that God decides in advance what is going to happen. Is this Biblical? asks North insistently. If so, and if we claim to believe the Bible, are we believing this? (Value of this doctrine: since it's true, there is hope for the worst sinner, since God can give him repentance, and humbling for the best saint, since not himself but God has saved him.)
Questions 26-50 deal with God's law. If God is always perfectly right, then what can possibly be wrong with the laws He gave Moses? Can we improve USA laws by looking into Moses? (This position, at least in its stricter forms, is sometimes called "Theonomy," title of a relevant book by Greg Bahnsen. The hardcore form says that since Moses says not to let witches remain alive, rulers who allow witches to remain alive are ruling in sin. The softcore form, with which I agree, says US laws are a mess and we can learn from the Bible, e.g. to punish crimes quickly, Ecclesiastes 8:11).
Questions 51-75 form a less neat package. All deal with eschatology, some trying to show that postmillennialism is Biblical (I agree; search my article "Postmillennialism helps prayer"), some that hardcore dispensationalism is not Biblical, e.g. North asks "Didn't Joel foresee the Church age?," perhaps some with other topics within eschatology.
Each question comes on one page, with a questionable answer on the reverse, with a fair number of Bible references and brief discussion of each.
North wrote this especially for students at Christian colleges, with the idea that students would form groups to study these matters. (He said if you can get a pretty girl with a B or better average to ask the questions, marry her :) He offered (when first published, sometime around A.D. 1980) to help secure the academic freedom to ask these questions in accredited schools.
Subtitle "How to spot humanism in the classroom or pulpit," "humanism" meaning giving man too much credit and God too little. Section one subtitled "Sovereignty: God's or man's," section two "Law: God's or man's," and three "Victory: God's or man's" (as I recall, my copy not being handy.)
Around 200 small pages; 150 for the questions plus some appendices.
Now, I'm not a sharp guy, but I know that Reconstructionism does not seek to establish an earthly political kingdom. No, we believe the good Lord is going to Christianize the world as such that His servants are multiplied and societies seek to mimick His righteousness in an "all the Bible for all of life" sort of way. Whereas we are not pietistic, we are also not carnal in our imaginations. We look to the day of salvation, but do not let that engulf our eyes where we seek monastaries for study and prayer rather than being godly where we are.
Godly living and desiring to see others to live a godly living, does not constitute that Christ's kingdom is of the world.
