Dominionism is Theocratic, Dominion Theology is Totalitarian
I am sitting in an airport terminal returning home after attending the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, and a two day seminar by the ASA section on Collective Behavior and Social Movements. I am a member of both groups. I am a journalist but also a scholar who has written about Dominionism as a tendency within the Christian Right since the late 1980s. Before you challenge my claim to be a scholar, I suggest you visit this page on my published scholarly research.
It is true that many of us who are also journalists are critical of the Christian Right. Many of us debate the parameters of Dominionism and Dominion Theology in the Christian Right. And some of us post here on TalktoAction. Sometimes we disagree with each other, and we debate these issues in e-mails, on Twitter, and in personal meetings when we cover Christian Right events. So let me be blunt. If you are journalist who writes that there is no such thing as Dominionism or Dominion Theology, or that it is an invention of the anti-Christian left, you are either ignorant, lazy, or incompetent. It is one thing to quote people making this false claim... but don't embarrass yourself by not doing some homework.
