Born Again - Ten Years in an Evangelical Cult: Conspiracy Theories and the Fundamentalist's Love of Authoritarians - Paperback

by Douglas Kellenbrecht (Author)

What causes supposed moral Christians to support immoral authoritarian figures? In Born Again-Ten Years in an Evangelical Cult, Douglas Kellenbrecht shows how bizarre conspiracy theory is interwoven with the biblical message of salvation & judgement to create fear within the fundamentalist community, fear which is then taken into voting booths across the country - with devastating results for free democracies. It's no surprise that almost four years into the Trump administration America now faces its deepest racial divide in sixty years, along with leading the world in Covid-19 deaths, with no end in sight. Comparison is made to the broad support Hitler received from evangelicals in 1933 and the wild support given to Trump in 2016. Behind any poor choice a Christian makes is an unfounded yet unshakable belief that no matter how bad things get a magical savior will return and save the day.
