Under the banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
by Jon Krakauer
Using as a focal point a chilling brutal double murder by two Mormon fundamentalist brothers, Krakauer ("Into
Thin Air" and "Into the Wild") with compelling details follows the history of the Mormon Church -- from its
early 19th Century founding by Joseph Smith, through its violent history, as it transforms itself into one of
the world's fastest-growing religions. In an age where Westerners have trouble comprehending what drives violent
Islamic fundamentalists, Krakauer gives us insights into a similar world within our own borders. Discussion led by
Peter Mollman.
All book club meetings take place at the Chapman Room at Sunset Center, located at 9th & San Carlos in Carmel. For questions,
call 624-2811.
