“The New Apostolic Reformation is one of the most influential and dangerous Christian nationalist movements in the United States—and beyond. Matthew Taylor is the world’s leading scholar of religion on the New Apostolic Reformation. In The Violent Take It by Force, he clearly and succinctly explains how the NAR grew from the work of C. Peter Wagner and flowered into a present-day spiritual and political juggernaut. Taylor has the training to notice broad trends, to place the NAR in historical context, and to articulate its theological avenues. But he also has the patience to follow every NAR prophet and apostle to the corners of their ministries, locating them on the ground in congregations and communities across the world. This is what makes The Violent Take It by Force one of the most important books on religion to appear in the last several years. Every once in a while a book comes along that changes not only its field, but how many of us understand the past and future of the United States. This is one of those books.”
