Dominion Theology: Blessing or Curse? An Analysis of Christian Reconstructionism

A movement is afoot within the evangelical church-a radical and alarming shift from some of the basic beliefs and practices of contemporary evangelical understanding. This movement-variously identified as dominion theology or Christian Reconstructionism-argues for a way of thinking about God's law, his plan for the future, and the role of the church fundamentally different from that commonly accepted among evangelicals. Reconstructionism cannot be dismissed as a passing, and therefore irrelevant, side-current on the course of evangelical thought. Reconstructionists have garnered support from such disparate groups as old-time fundamentals, charismatics, and some members of the evangelical intelligentsia. This book examines the history, goals, and beliefs of the Christian Reconstruction movement and its implications for the church and society. The authors' careful evaluation uncovers the movement's strengths as well as its undeniable dangers. Christian Reconstructionism's radical proposals-including the stoning of rebellious adolescents, capital punishment for homosexuals, and the elimination of political pluralism-combined with its growing influence evoke one conclusion: Christian Reconstructionism must be carefully scrutinized by Christians concerned about the church's, and America's, future
