A Call for American Evangelical Leaders to Confront Evangelicalism’s Lunatic Fringe
Every religious movement that grows sufficiently large has a lunatic fringe; extremists attach themselves to religious (and other) movements to gain respectability and a “voice”—to influence the movement and others through it.
.. Some, perhaps most, Christian Reconstructionists and promoters of Dominion Theology teach it is the duty of Christians, inspired and led by God, to “take back America for God” in a legal sense of enforcing even Old Testament commandments and especially traditional Christian ethical norms (as they interpret them) on America through political (broadly defined) power.
.. I hesitate to call it a “theology” as it seems more driven by power motives than by true interest in God.
