Drawing on exclusive access to Rushdoony's personal papers and extensive correspondence, Michael J. McVicar demonstrates the considerable role Reconstructionism played in the development of the radical Christian Right and an American theocratic agenda. As a religious movement, Reconstructionism aims at nothing less than \""\""reconstructing\""\"" individuals through a form of Christian governance that, if implemented in the lives of [url] citizens, would fundamentally alter the shape of American society.\n\nMcVicar examines Rushdoony's career and traces.
