From ‘Spheres’ to ‘Mountains’: the Rise of Dominionism in America

This episode marks a shift in the series, mostly addressing the history of Christian nationalism. The program initially notes that adherence to Christian nationalism differs depending on definition and application. While roughly 45% contend that the United States should be a Christian nation, only 15% want the government to rule based on specifically Christian laws. Most of the episode focuses on dominion theology, which promotes a Christian take-over of the 7 spheres of society--government, media, business, education, arts and entertainment, family, and religion. An outgrowth of Bill Bright's "7 spheres," dominionism promotes the "seven mountain mandate," in which believers take over the leadership of these spheres or mountains, maximizing Christian influence. The latter part of the episode introduces the novel interpretation of Matthew 28:19-20 by the New Apostolic Reformation, the primary promoter of dominion theology in evangelicalism.
