DISCUSSION OF Under the Banner of Heaven John Krakauer

Using as a focal point the story of Mormon fundamentalist brothers Dan and Ron Lafferty, who in 1984 brutally murdered their sister-in-law and 15-month-old niece in the name of a divine revelation, Krakauer explores what he sees as the nature of radical Mormon sects. Using historical and contemporary texts, Krakauer compellingly details the history of the Mormon church from its early 19th-century creation to what it is today, a world’s fast growing religion. Through a detailled account of the brothers divine revelation that ultimately led to the crime, Krakauer poses some striking questions about the closed-minded, closed-door policies of the religion-and many religions in general.
