Although I’ve read and appreciate men like Rushdoony and Greg Bahnsen, in all honesty..The Christian Reconstruction Movement is almost a “dead letter”.. it gradually went away after Greg Bahnsen died a good 10 years ago...this view is held by very few today.

I’ve seen other Progressives use “Christian Reconstructionism” as a “boogyman”...Most Evangelical Christians have never heard of “Christian Reconstructionism”, yet these Progressives always use this boogyman as a major reason to oppose Christianity.

Yes, the author is blatantly and obviously biased against Christianity, based upon her own ideas of what Christianity believes; but she honestly has no idea what Historic Christianity actually is.

IMHO -- the greatest and most valuable part of the Christian Reconstructionist agenda that Rushdoony and Bahnsen did accomplish, was to help foster and cultivate the Home-Schooling movement, as well as spur some renewed interest and activity in chartering and building new Protestant parochial schools.

While Publik Skooling continues to be dominant, Christians are increasingly turning to these two options; or at least giving them serious consideration. This is a hopeful development for the future of American society, and in this small-but-growing part of the public sphere, Rishdoony and Bahnsen were giants.
