Mathematics
One of the first things we must recognize as we approach mathematics and any and every subject is this: there are no neutral facts in the universe. There are no facts that men can approach, believer and unbeliever and say, ‘Here, we both see the same thing.’ Every fact in the universe is a God-created fact. There is not an atom, not a thing in all of creation that is not the handiwork of the triune God. As a result, to look at anything including numbers, from any other perspective than a biblical one is to falsify what you view.

- R. J. Rushdoony
Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God’s standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God’s law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church’s false view of God’s law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as “Christian Reconstruction.” He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.
