An elite operative trained in both mysticism and murder has been assigned a mission—to recover the stolen Shroud of Turin . . . Many centuries ago, a secret sect of elite spies and killers was tasked with protecting the Church, its secrets, and its treasures. They are known as the MK—contemplative monks highly trained in mystical practises, espionage, and assassination, ready to do whatever task the Church demands. Raphael Ward is their most accomplished member, and now he is charged with the most important mission of his life: recovering the real Turin Shroud, secretly stolen from the Church by the Nazis during World War II. It is a mission that forces Raphael to engage with the world’s darkest, most violent underbelly, and to question the very faith that has driven and sustained him for so long. When he finally discovers the shocking truth about the Shroud, he will be faced with a decision that could change the Church—and perhaps even the world—forever . . .
How the political beliefs of Tea Party supporters are connected to far-right social movements Are Tea Party supporters merely a group of conservative citizens concerned about government spending? Or are they racists who refuse to accept Barack Obama as their president because he's not white? Change They Can’t Believe In offers an alternative argument—that the Tea Party is driven by the reemergence of a reactionary movement in American politics that is fueled by a fear that America has changed for the worse. Providing a range of original evidence and rich portraits of party sympathizers as well as activists, Christopher Parker and Matt Barreto show that the perception that America is in danger directly informs how Tea Party supporters think and act. In a new afterword, Parker and Barreto reflect on the Tea Party’s recent initiatives, including the 2013 government shutdown, and evaluate their prospects for the 2016 election.
