“Berman has done a magnificent job there, his work rests on the work of, as I said, several men who proceeded him. It is a seminal work, and I think he is thoroughly right, that we have to restore the meaning of atonement to restore the meaning of law in our society, to save our culture from becoming a jellyfish culture, in which there are no standards, no backbone, in which everything goes.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
