Summary
Dominion theology, or dominionism, is a name for a group of Protestant political ideologies that seek a nation governed by Christians according to their reading of biblical law. It takes its name from Genesis 1:28 in the King James Bible, where God grants humanity “dominion” over the earth. Most of the movements so labelled arose in the United States in the 1970s, among them R. J. Rushdoony’s Christian reconstructionism and Kingdom Now theology.
One current, the Seven Mountains Mandate, names seven spheres for Christians to control: government, education, media, arts and entertainment, religion, family and business. The label is mostly applied by critics; those it describes rarely use it.
Rationale
An example, and a warning. Its seven ‘mountains’ show a movement treating schools, media, family and business as places where culture is formed, much as Part 2 does, but in order to rule them.
