In 45 short essays aimed at a broad audience, the contributors to
From the Ashes place the Branch Davidians in historical and
comparative perspective with nontraditional religions, analyze the
government's handling of the Waco confrontation, assess the media's
coverage and public response, and provide an overview of responses
from the academic and religious community. Although the
contributors represent a wide variety of viewpoints, they are
united in the belief that the 89 deaths could have been avoided and
that the popular demonization of nontraditional religious movements
in the aftermath of Waco represents a continuing threat to freedom
of religion. Contributors include: Dick Anthony, Michael Barkun,
James Beckford, Col. Charlie Beckwith, Eldridge Cleaver, Dean M.
Kelly, Franklin H. Littell, and Thomas Robbins.
