Exile in the ‘Seven Mountains’: beyond a politics of domination
“As Evan Koons explains in the film, ‘Simply put, we are being called by God to spend the remainder of our days serving our captors, working with them (not fighting them or conforming to them or fleeing from them – but serving them) and compromising nothing.’” - Acton
Surprised someone like French would potential advocate for this. Dominion theology/postmil stuff seems to be making a resurgence.
It’s unclear to me the difference between the dominion idea and the influence concept. I wonder if the view is still “Christ won’t return until we do this.”
French is actually against it—the subtitle of his referenced article is, “On the Dangers of the Seven Mountain Mandate”

Oh ok thanks. It sounded like he was rejecting the dominionism aspect but considered it a possible step forward in Christian social engagement.
