Reconstructionist Postmillennialism sees that along with grass roots preaching of the Gospel and specifically Christian education, Christians should also set about changing society's legal and political institutions in accordance with Biblical (and also sometimes Theonomic ) ethics. Reconstructionist Postmillennialism contrasts with Revivalist Postmillennialism (or Pietistic Postmillennialism ) which stops short of concentrated Christian efforts to change society's secularized institutions whilst focusing more on evangelism alone. Some see Reconstructionist Postmillennialism as a successor to and an improvement upon Revivalist Postmillennialism which is seen as an older form of classical puritan doctrine. Amongst several other differences of opinion which exist between Reconstructionists and Revivalists, one such question is whether the masses change social institutions or whether social institutions change the masses. Another issue is whether or not the same legal and political rules which applied to Old Covenant theocratic Israel apply to modern societies which are no longer directly ruled by Israel's Prophets, Priests and Kings, and whether the social institutions of such secularized societies ''should'' or even ''would'' adopt the different Old Testament Biblical and / or Theonomic ethics from a God they have already mostly rejected.
