More on Dr. Taylor here:
Matthew D. Taylor is senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore, where he specializes in American Christianity, American Islam, Christian extremism, and religious politics. His new book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024), tracks how a network of Christian leaders called the New Apostolic Reformation was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection and is currently reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. He is also the author of Scripture People: Salafi Muslims in Evangelical Christians' America (Cambridge, 2023). Taylor holds a PhD in religious studies and Muslim-Christian relations from Georgetown University and an MA in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He also serves as an associate fellow at the Center for Peace Diplomacy in New Orleans, where he works on preventing religion-related violence surrounding U.S. elections.
To watch Dr. Taylor’s PowerPoint found at the bottom of this post, please take out a membership:
If you are unable to purchase his book or become a Bette member at this time, I recommend going to your public library to reserve a copy and also listening to Dr. Taylor’s podcast series, which is free to access. Here is the link:
It’s seven hours worth of amazing content.
In addition, I am including his final PowerPoint slide for all readers to view — it offers action steps we all can take to thwart the spread of Christian Supremacy through independent charismatics.
A special thank you to those who support my writing by buying a copy of latest ebook — American Monsters: The Book.
Thank you for everything always and see many of you on Tuesday with Brent Allpress at 5 pm Pacific!
