<p>This issue of the Journal of Christian Reconstruction focuses on the specific and immediate application of Christian Reconstruction in our society today. Our major concern in this symposium is not with long-term future scenarios, such as a vast revival (although we pray for it every day), or some type of economic crisis (although this is likely enough), but with what we can trace of the blessed work of the Holy Spirit in applying the transforming Gospel of grace to all areas of our contemporary life and society here and now.</p><p><br></p><p>We conservative Christians have been fairly adept at discerning and describing the evils and impending disasters of our time. Calling evil by its true name is after all an important part of any biblically based prophetic ministry. Diagnosis is an essential part of the curative process in medicine, theology, and every other field. But at the same time, many of us have so tended to focus on the diagnosis of evil that we have failed to look up and see the widespread healing and impartation of new life that is going on all around us.</p>
