The Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and many ultra-right-wing
racist ?religious? organizations adhere to a doctrine called
Christian Identity. Christian Identity is not a denomination, but a
loosely organized movementembracing a range of beliefs. Its
foundation is the theory that Anglo-Saxons (and Aryans, in most
cases) are the true descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, and
are the chosen people of God. Christian Identity is a bloodline
religion: a belief system irrevocably tied to race. As such it
lends itself to the violence, racism, and anti?Semitism of its more
militant practitioners, and its growth and links to domestic
terrorism warrant a better understanding of the movement.
This survey of the Christian Identity Movement traces its
development and beliefs, from its origins to its modern
manifestations. It examines the doctrines and visions of the future
of Identity communities and organizations in America. The initial
chapter explores British Israelism, forerunner of most bloodline
Identity groups; the oral traditions behind the movement are
reviewed in the second. The third chapter outlines the American
Israel, Israel Identity and bloodline Identity movements, including
major figures and groups. The following chapters provide an
introduction to Christian Identity itself, its general religious
tenets, and post?Creation beliefs upon which much of the theory is
based. Subsequent chapters describe militant bloodline and Identity
groups, and individual militant Identity leaders. The final chapter
explores the ?Third American Revolution? predicted by these groups,
a forthcoming war based on race and religion.
