 Direction: Rethinking Dominion Theology
In the second place, views of dominion in Gen. 1:28 are usually discussed in relative isolation from the ancient social context of Genesis 1 and from its larger canonical context in the Bible as a whole, both contexts that have much to add to our understanding of dominion theology in biblical thought.
Helpful perspectives on the theology of dominion in Gen. 1:28 are provided by examining this verse within three of its contexts: the text in which it occurs, the social world of the text, and the canonical setting of the text, that is, its place within the Bible as a whole.
One, reflected in the priestly theology of Gen. 1:28, is to regard human survival as a struggle to be won by human dominion, by the subjugation and control of nature.

 Dominion Theology - A Flaw in the Foundation
Most of the conflicts with Dominion Theology within the Church at large are not over the foundational principle of the function of the Law for the redeemed, but in the application of the Law to society and government.
Yet this dominion is not that the civil government should become under the control of the Church, as in a papal state, but in that the members of society be so transformed that the influence of the Church is established through the participation of the saints within the civil government.5

Those who hold to Kingdom Theology assume that the Church (some believe only a small group within the Church, called "overcomers"), under submission to the latter day apostles and prophets, is that man child, and that it has the responsibility to put down all rebellion and establish righteousness.
The proponents of Kingdom Theology are correct when they say that the Church is spiritual Israel, but they fail to acknowledge that God has promised to restore national Israel and deal with her during the coming seventieth week of Daniel.
Yet while the adage "guilt by association" does not always hold true, a consistent pattern of fraternization and support are sufficient grounds to at least question whether one holds the views of those he supports and with whom he seeks unity.

 Dominionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominionism is a trend in Protestant Christian evangelicalism and fundamentalism, primarily, though not exclusively, in the United States, that seeks to establish specific political policies based on religious beliefs.
Dominionism as a trend in the late 1970s and 1980s was sparked in part by a series of books and films featuring Francis A. Schaeffer, a popular Evangelical apologist and founder of L'Abri, a Christian community in Huemoz-sur-Ollon, Switzerland.
The terms Theocratic Dominionism or Hard Dominionism, are used by some to describe forms of Dominionism which evidently envision, and work toward, a future in which all the institutions of society will be governed by the principles of their form of Christian faith.

 Media Spotlight - Kingdom Theology Part III - Section A
This segment of our treatise on "Kingdom Now" or "Dominion" Theology has been the most difficult to complete, both in terms of assimilating the contents and in presenting them in a manner that would not be inflammatory or denigrating to any individual's character.
In our previous installments we traced today's Dominion Theology back to the neo-Pentecostalism of the mid-twentieth century, and what became known as "The Latter Rain Movement." We discussed the influence of occult methodology upon the two principal innovators of that movement: Franklin Hall and William Branham.
The reader should keep in mind that Dominion Theology is not an easily delineated segment within the Church, but rather a loose networking of autonomous sub-movements that have different approaches to their attempts at establishing the Kingdom of God.

 Apologetics research resources on religious cults and sects - An Examination of Kingdom-, Dominion-, and Latter Rain ...
These movements - though to a greater or lesser degree disavowing association with each other - are sufficiently homogenous in their eschatological and theological viewpoints to place them all under a common banner: what I refer to as "Kingdom Theology." These movements are built upon the same foundation: the neo-Pentecostalism of the mid-twentieth century.
Critical to hard-core Kingdom Theology is the denial of "the Rapture" - the teaching that the Church will one day be caught up to meet the Lord in the air so that we will be with Him in Heaven when God's wrath is poured out upon the earth.
Since there will be no "Rapture," and no Second Coming of Jesus until the Kingdom has been established by the Church under the direction of the apostles and prophets, most Kingdom Theology adherents are mid- or post-millennialists: Jesus will come back after the millennium has begun or after it has been completed.
