What were the beliefs of the Branch Davidians? This is the first
full scholarly account of their history. Kenneth G. C. Newport
argues that, far from being an act of unfathomable religious
insanity, the calamitous fire at Waco in 1993 was the culmination
of a long theological and historical tradition that goes back many
decades. The Branch Davidians under David Koresh were an
eschatologically confident community that had long expected that
the American government, whom they identified as the Lamb-like
Beast of the book of Revelation, would one day arrive to seek to
destroy God's remnant people. The end result, the fire, must be
seen in this context.
