“Dominion Theology: Extremist Right-Wing Christianity” – Rachel Tabachnick | David Pakman Show ▶️

Rachel Tabachnick, researcher, writer, and speaker on impact of the Religious Right, talks about the New Apostolic Reformation (N.A.R.), Dominion Theology, and the connection with Rick Perry.

The New Apostolic Reformation (N.A.R.) is a theological belief and movement that combines elements of Pentecostalism, evangelicalism and the Seven Mountain Mandate to advocate for spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society, and end or weaken the separation of church and state. NAR leaders often call themselves apostles and prophets. Long a fringe movement of the American Christian right, its prominence and power have increased since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as US president. Theology professor André Gagné, author of a 2024 book on the movement, has characterized it as “inherently political” and said it threatens to “subvert democracy.”

Rachel Tabachnick (former PRA associate fellow) researches, writes, and speaks about the impact of the Religious Right on policy and politics including civil rights, education, economics, environment, foreign policy, and labor. She produces presentations and speaks on conservative infrastructure and the intersection of the Religious Right and other sectors of the Right, including “free market” think tanks.
