"More prevalent on the Christian Right is the Dominionist idea, shared
by Reconstructionists, that Christians alone are Biblically mandated to
occupy all secular institutions until Christ returns -- and there is no
consensus on when that might be. Dominionist thinking precludes
coalitions between believers and unbelievers, which is why many
Christian rightists will have a hard time compromising with some of the
very same Republicans they recently helped elect. The idea of taking
dominion over secular society gained widespread currency with the 1981
publication of evangelical philosopher Francis Schaeffer's book -- A
Christian Manifesto."
*that* Schaeffer..?
