Christian Reconstructionism is a relatively recent term, appearing after the social changes of the 1960s. It calls for Christians to seek to pervade all areas of life with their faith, including civil government, and envisions the private and civil enforcement of the general principles of Old Testament and New Testament moral law, resulting in a Christian theocracy.
Reconstructionist Paganism, or alternately, "pagan reconstructionism", is a branch of present-day paganism where emphasis is laid on cultural specificity and scholarly research of ancient sources in order to worship the gods in an authentic and relevant manner. For example, practitioners of Hellenismos study ancient Greek writings to glean from them how to properly worship the Greek gods, as well as integrate belief and ritual into their everyday lives.
