The Luxury of Words

Rousas John Rushdoony is primarily known as a theologian, scholar, and author. However, Dr. Rushdoony (Rush to his friends) also wrote the occasional poem - often personal and transparent. Although these were not written for publication, the have been put into book form as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Chalcedon Foundation, the ministry he founded in 1965.



This collection reveals much more about the man who dedicated his life to the premise that God speaks to all areas of life and thought. These 112 poems span over six decades, dating as far back at the mid-1930s and culminating in the years before his death. This poetry reveals Rush's concerns and fears, his outlook on life, and the joy he experienced in serving his Lord and Savior.



May these poems now be a blessing to you!
