Publisher's Synopsis
Apostles of Discord is a comprehensive study of organized bigotry and disruption on the fringes of Protestantism, written by Ralph Lord Roy. The book delves into the history and ideology of various extremist groups that have emerged within Protestantism, such as the Ku Klux Klan, the John Birch Society, and the Christian Identity movement. Roy examines the ways in which these groups have used religion to justify their racist and anti-Semitic beliefs, and how they have sought to infiltrate and disrupt mainstream Protestant denominations. The book also explores the role of charismatic leaders in these movements, and the tactics they have employed to gain and maintain followers. Throughout the book, Roy emphasizes the dangers of these extremist groups, and the need for vigilance in combating their divisive and destructive influence. Apostles of Discord is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of a troubling aspect of American religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
