Author: The Violent Take It By Force
Matthew D. Taylor's book (releases October 1, 2024), The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy, details how little-known and even less understood networks of Christian leaders were a central instigating force in the January 6th attempted insurrection. These same leaders are extremely involved in the 2024 election cycle, campaigning for Donald Trump and hinting at further violence if the election does not go Trump's way. Justice Advocates is honored to welcome Dr. Taylor, who is a senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies and an associate fellow at the Center for Peace Diplomacy, as he offers a presentation about the very real menace Christian extremism poses to American democracy.
