Dominion Theology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Subjectionist) Dominionism redirects here. For the advocacy of dominion status in the British Empire and Commonwealth, see Dominion. For advocacy of the rights and interests of humans in relation to environmentalism and/or animal rights, see Anthropocentrism. Dominion Theology or Dominionism is the idea that Christians should work toward either a nation governed by Christians or one governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law. At least under this name, it exists primarily among Protestants in the United States. It is a form of theocracy and is related to theonomy, though it does not necessarily advocate Mosaic law as the basis of government. Prominent adherents of Dominion Theology are otherwise theologically diverse, including the Calvinist Christian Reconstructionism and the charismatic/Pentecostal Kingdom Now theology and New Apostolic Reformation. Some elements within the mainstream Christian right have been influenced by Dominion Theology authors. Indeed, some writers have applied the term Dominionism more broadly to the mainstream Christian right, implicitly arguing that that movement is founded upon a theology that requires Christians to govern over non-Christians. Mainstream conservatives do not call themselves Dominionists, and the usage has sparked considerable controversy.
