Christian reconstructionism is a fundamentalist Reformed theonomic movement that developed under the ideas of Rousas Rushdoony, Greg Bahnsen and Gary North; it has had an important influence on the Christian Right in the United States. In keeping with the cultural mandate, reconstructionists advocate theonomy and the restoration of certain biblical laws said to have continuing applicability. The movement declined in the 1990s and was declared dead in a 2008 "Church History" journal article, although Christian reconstructionist organizations such as the Chalcedon Foundation and American Vision are active today (2014). Christian reconstructionists are usually postmillennialists and followers of the presuppositional apologetics of Cornelius Van Til.
