Episode Details

What does circumcision really signify—and why does it matter for the church today? In this foundational message, R.J. Rushdoony explores Genesis 17 and God’s covenant with Abraham to show that circumcision, like its New Testament successor baptism, is far more than a ritual. It is a declaration of God’s sovereign grace, the priority of divine election, and the central role of the family in covenant life. This episode deepens our understanding of the church not as an institution of man’s choice, but as a covenantal people formed and sustained by God’s promise.
