A Culture of Conspiracy
Author: Michael Barkun
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520956524
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
American society has changed dramatically since A Culture of Conspiracy was first published in 2001. In this revised and expanded edition, Michael Barkun delves deeper into America's conspiracy sub-culture, exploring the rise of 9/11 conspiracy theories, the "birther" controversy surrounding Barack Obama's American citizenship, and how the conspiracy landscape has changed with the rise of the Internet and other new media. What do UFO believers, Christian millennialists, and right-wing conspiracy theorists have in common? According to Michael Barkun in this fascinating yet disturbing book, quite a lot. It is well known that some Americans are obsessed with conspiracies. The Kennedy assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 2001 terrorist attacks have all generated elaborate stories of hidden plots. What is far less known is the extent to which conspiracist worldviews have recently become linked in strange and unpredictable ways with other "fringe" notions such as a belief in UFOs, Nostradamus, and the Illuminati. Unraveling the extraordinary genealogies and permutations of these increasingly widespread ideas, Barkun shows how this web of urban legends has spread among subcultures on the Internet and through mass media, how a new style of conspiracy thinking has recently arisen, and how this phenomenon relates to larger changes in American culture. This book, written by a leading expert on the subject, is the most comprehensive and authoritative examination of contemporary American conspiracism to date. Barkun discusses a range of material-involving inner-earth caves, government black helicopters, alien abductions, secret New World Order cabals, and much more-that few realize exists in our culture. Looking closely at the manifestations of these ideas in a wide range of literature and source material from religious and political literature, to New Age and UFO publications, to popular culture phenomena such as The X-Files, and to websites, radio programs, and more, Barkun finds that America is in the throes of an unrivaled period of millenarian activity. His book underscores the importance of understanding why this phenomenon is now spreading into more mainstream segments of American culture.

The History of the Christian Religion and Church During the First Three Centuries
Author: Augustus Neander
Publisher: Book Tree
ISBN: 9781585090778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Neander was one of the greatest religious historians to have ever lived. In this abbreviated version of a larger work, he covers the current of Gnostic ideas during the formation of Christianity. This topic is important because it outlines all of the competitive beliefs that were at work at the time and how they affected the Christian struggle in both good and bad ways. This rare book may cause one to never look at Christianity in quite the same way again, due to its immense scholarship and interesting array of facts.

The Christ Myth
Author: Elizabeth E. Evans
Publisher: Book Tree
ISBN: 9781585090372
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Was the entire story of Jesus nothing more than thatjust a story? Evans presents an interesting argument. According to her, many things accepted as true regarding the story of Jesus may in fact not be true. This book refutes aspects of Christ based on factual evidence combined with strong opinions of the author that may or may not be proven. Many have been conditioned to accept Jesus in certain ways without the use of reason. Evans provides us with a form of rational thinking that has been left out of our religious conditioning process. Those who are open enough to read it will find it challenging and rewarding.

Babylonian Influence on the Bible and Popular Beliefs
Author: A. Smythe Palmer
Publisher: Book Tree
ISBN: 9781585090006
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
We know that the Bible creation stories had their origins in far older tales. These stories strongly match the Old Testament and originate from clay tablets discovered in ancient Sumeria and Babylonia. They are the oldest preserved stories the world has ever known, revealed in this interesting book and passed down for many centuries before being adopted by whoever wrote the Old Testament. It seems the Word of God may not have come in its entirety from God, but gods. It is important that the earliest sources of our belief systems be examined. That is the purpose of this book.

Secret Societies and Subversive Movements
Author: Nesta H. Webster
Publisher: Book Tree
ISBN: 9781585090921
Category : Freemasonry
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
One of the best books on secret societies ever written. Webster was an historical writer who wrote a number of books on the French Revolution. After World War I she was intrigued with the Marxist revolt, so wrote World Revolution, examining how and why people continue to revolt. As her search went deeper, clear meanings surfaced behind our revolutionsand they involved an agenda by secret societies. This book lays out, in historical perspective, how these secret societies and subversive movements have operated from behind the scenes. Not all of them aspire to rule the world or manipulate politics or world currency, but there are some major ones, according to Webster, that are. As a respected writer and world historian, she provides proof from within these pages.
