Here is a relevant quote from Ingersoll\u2019s piece:<\/p>\n

With a new film\u00a0Monumental<\/em> about to be released, there is a new, more extreme Cameron who is increasingly connected to Christian Reconstruction and dominion theology. \u2026\u00a0This film arises from by Cameron\u2019s shift from the larger premillennialist evangelical world that he depicted in\u00a0Left Behind<\/em> to the postmillennialist dominion theology of the Reconstructionists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if this sort of transition is something we should expect to see more of \u2013 evangelicals moving away from the more separatist and pessimistic premillenialism to adopt a reconstructionist postmillenialist emphasis<\/a> on ushering in Christ\u2019s second coming by creating a Christian world \u2013 and a Christian nation and Christian government \u2013 here on earth.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
