A Monumentally Different Kirk Cameron
When Kirk Cameron appeared in the post-rapture Left Behind movies he depicted mainstream evangelicalism. Viewed as a wholesome presence in the entertainment industry and profiled in Christianity Today in 2008, his stock rose even further among mainstream evangelicals with the popular Christian film Fireproof. But that was the old Cameron.
With a new film Monumental about to be released, there is a new, more extreme Cameron who is increasingly connected to Christian Reconstruction and dominion theology. When evangelicals go to the theaters next week to see the star of the popular Christian films mentioned above, what they'll get is the "providential history" of RJ Rushdoony and David Barton. In fact, during a recent interview, Cameron, once the Christian pop-culture embodiment of premillennialism, joined Christian Reconstructionist homeschool leader Doug Philips in laying the blame for the decline in America at the feet of premillennialists waiting for the rapture.

Warren Throckmorton notes Cameron's reliance on Reconstructionists David Barton and Herb Titus as "experts" in Monumental, presented as though they're neutral scholars, though RD has shown repeatedly that they are anything but.
