American cult Cover Image Book Book

American cult / edited by Robyn Chapman.

Chapman, Robyn, (editor.).

Summary:

"Across the decades, Americans in search of divine truths have turned to unconventional prophets for the answers. Some of these prophets have demanded their faith, fortunes, and even their very lives. In American Cult, over twenty cartoonists explore the history of these groups with clarity and empathy--digging deep to find the human stories within."--Provided by publisher.
