The Dominionism Series-Part 4: Christian Reconstructionism and the NAR
Reading Time: 4 minutes It’s been a while since I published part 3 of this series and I’m sorry that it’s been so long. However, as we’re now starting to see the implications of strategies of christian nationalists it seems like a good time to get back to talking about it. In recent weeks (just weeks!) we’ve seen rulings of Christian privilege assert itself in cases of capital punishment, LGBT+ rights, and more than once in regard to reproductive rights. So I’m going to publish part 4 and 5 of this series this week. If this subject is important to you please go back and read the whole dominionism tagged series here on For Infernal Use Only.

Christian Reconstructionism: The Template for American Theocracy
Reading Time: 12 minutes For three decades Reconstructionism was easily the most influential Dominionist brand of Christianity active in the U.S. It is directly responsible for the religious homeschool movement which other Christian groups have picked up on. The rise of the Christian Right as we know it today in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s is directly attributable to Reconstructionist theological and political influence.
