Reseña del libro "Menace in the Megachurch: Politics, Arson, Perjury, the KKK, and Murder (en Inglés)"
It's pretty much the norm these days--preachers going "political,"speaking up for candidates who reflect common values and opinions. Butthe lines separating pulpit and politics, not to mention church andstate, were not always as blurred as they are in our time. The harshpartisan tone, combined with the practice of take-no-prisoners-politicson the part of some Christian ministers in our day is something that can be traced back to one controversial pulpit-pounding powerbroker--J.Frank Norris. At the mid-point of the 1920s, people flocked toNorris's First Baptist Church in downtown Fort Worth, Texas--America'soriginal "megachurch." He would do just about anything to draw a largecrowd. Thousands came to witness his latest extravaganza. He was a folk-hero to many.To many others, J. Frank Norris was a MENACE. By the summer of 1926, he presided over a religious empire, one thatincluded America's largest Protestant church, a tabloid newspaper thatreached nearly 100,000 readers every Friday, and his own radio networkthat saturated cities and towns across the American Southwest. Norrishad already survived multiple criminal indictments. He boasted that hecould handle anything that came his way. He had fanatically loyalfollowers (including members of the Ku Klux Klan) and great lawyers. But would they be enough when he found himself charged with first-degreemurder and face to face with "Sparky"--the nickname for the Texaselectric chair?
