Summary

In this book, Jim Owen examines historic fundamentalist magazines and journals to determine why there is such a radical disparity between what historians have written and what the historic fundamentalists actually did. Through Owen's investigation, we see a compassionate movement very involved--socially and politically--during the Great Depression, and a group that was vocal in combating anti-Semitism and denouncing the horrors of Nazi persecution.
