Why Waco?: Cults and the Battle for Religious Freedom in America Tapa blanda - 1997
de James D. Tabor; Eugene V. Gallagher
In this bold examination of the 1993 Waco tragedy, the authors have carefully studied the tenuous relationship between the Branch Davidians and the federal government and offer the first balanced account of the siege. In exploring our fears of unconventional religious groups and how such fear curtails our ability to tolerate religious differences, "Why Waco?" is an unsettling wake-up call.
Primera línea
THE FBI AGENTS CALLED to Mount Carmel center outside Waco, Texas, on February 28, 1993, can hardly be expected to have packed their Bibles.
Descripción de contraportada
"The label "cult" can become a license to kill. . . . A courageous religious scholar, James Tabor, understanding what was at stake, tried valiantly to prevent the tragedy at Waco. Persevering in its wake, he and Eugene Gallagher thoroughly investigated the background, participants, and events leading to the destruction of the Mount Carmel Church and its members. Their findings are presented in this critically important book."--Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General
"Here, at last, is a glimpse of 'the other side' of the tragic confrontation. . . . The authors offer an alternative to the common wisdom about Waco as well as a critique of the anti-cult ideology that helped misdefine the situation and bring about its fateful--and fatal--results."--Dean M. Kelley, Counselor on Religious Liberty, National Council of Churches
"For public debate on a serious issue facing our society, this book deserves wide and sober reading."--John R. Hall, author of Gone From the Promised Land: Jonestown as American Cultural History
