Críticas

"One of the most original, entertaining and penetrating portrayals of the Christian right in the throes of apocalyptic paranoia. Those searching for an accessible introduction to the Christian right, or seeking to understand the movement's future, should look no further." -- Max Blumenthal "The Nation Institute"

"The book seamlessly weaves the voices and analyses from prominent religious leaders, scholars, and practicioners, and makes its own subtle but persuasive argument about the nature of theopolitics in a post 9/11 world." -- Jeffrey Robbins "author of The Sleeping Giant Has Awoken: The New Politics of Religion in the United States"

Deepens its readers' insights into the prevalence and power of apocalyptic utopianism in contemporary America. A successful work, it ultimately does more than just expose the underpinnings of religious violence. Challenging readers to assess their own biases; to consider how they themselves contribute to the violence that fills our world. -- Richard Cohen "Director, Program for the Study of Religion, University of California, San Diego"

Reseña del editor

Director Michael Wilson and producer Natalie Zimmerman, in their documentary film Silhouette City, have dramatically captured the religious right's concerted effort to form a theocracy in America, with an aim to spread control worldwide. This insightful book, Kingdom at Any Cost, includes valuable interviews and writings not covered in the film, but further revealing the impact of the ominous religious movement. It serves as a powerful resource: a handbook for studying the film and a reader for examining America's contemporary Christian extremes.
