Matthew Taylor is a senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies in Baltimore, where he specializes in American Christianity, American Islam, Christian extremism, and religious politics. He also serves as an associate fellow at the Center for Peace Diplomacy in New Orleans, where he works on preventing religion-related violence surrounding U.S. elections. We’ll be talking about his new book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy, which explores the roots, belief system, and goals of a non-denominational evangelical movement, the New Apostolic Reformation. In Taylor’s analysis, this movement is reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. and was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building.
