The Christian Nationalism movement is a byproduct of the Protestant Dominion Theology, "which asserts that, in preparation for the second coming of Christ, godly men have the responsibility to take over every aspect of society."

According to Michelle Goldberg in Kingdom Coming The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, "DominionTheology comes out of Christian Reconstructionism, a fundamentalist creed that was propagated by the late Rousas John Rushdoony (R.J. Rushdoony) and his son-in-law, Gary North. Born in New York City in 1916 to Armenian immigrants who had recently fled the genocide in Turkey, Rushdoony was educated at the University of California at Berkeley and spent over eight years as a Presbyterian missionary to Native Americans in Nevada."

According to Goldberg, Rushdoony "was a prolific writer, churning out dense tomes advocating the abolition of public schools and social services and the replacement of civil law with biblical law. White-bearded and wizardly, Rushdoony had the look of an Old Testament patriarch and the harsh vision to match -- he called for the death penalty for gay people, blasphemers, and unchaste women, among other sinners. Democracy, he wrote, is a heresy and "the great love of the failures and cowards of life."

In turn, Goldberg said that "reconstructionism is a postmillennial theology, meaning its followers believe Jesus won't return until after Christians establish a thousand year reign on earth. While other Christians wait for the messiah, Reconstructionists want to build the kingdom themselves."

On the other hand, most American evangelicals are premillennialists.

"They believe (with some variations) that at the time of Christ's return, Christians will be gathered up to heaven, missing the tribulations endured by unbelievers. In the past, this belief led to a certain apathy -- why worry if the world is about to end and you'll be safe from the carnage?" says Goldberg in her article.

With this backdrop, this section will gather information on various terms and names related to Christian Nationalism.
