How did a Church that purports to follow the teachings of Jesus – the Prince of Peace – become a breeding ground for violent extremism? In Kingdom of Rage: The Rise of Christian Extremism and the Path Back to Peace, Elizabeth Neumann explores the forces within American society that have encouraged the radicalization of white supremacist, anti-government and other far-right terrorists by co-opting Christian symbols and culture and perverting the faith’s teachings. She believes that real change must come from within the Christian church. Neumann was a member of President George W. Bush’s anti-terrorism council following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
