Changes

'''Rousas John Rushdoony''' (April 25, 1916–Feb. 8, 2001) was an [[American]] minister and teacher, the [[founder]] of American [[home schooling]]. Born in [[New York City]] to a family of mixed [[Armenia]]n and Irish descent, Rushdoony moved to the Midwest as soon as he was able and set up a school for children whose parents didn't want them attending [[public school]]. His popular book ''[[Law and Liberty]]'' borrowed much from both Bahnsen's ''Theonomy and Christian Ethics'' and van Goorle's ''Philosophical Exercises'', but it added something new to the mix: the concept of [[Mosaic law]]. In a ''gedankenexperiment'', Rushdoony considered what would happen if the law of [[Moses]] was enforced in the [[United States]], and didn't like what he saw.
