Ezra Taft Benson's ultra-conservative vision made him one of the
most polarizing leaders in the history of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. His willingness to mix religion with
extreme right-wing politics troubled many. Yet his fierce defense
of the traditional family, unabashed love of country, and deep
knowledge of the faith endeared him to millions. In Thunder from
the Right, a group of veteran Mormon scholars probe aspects of
Benson's extraordinary life. Topics include: how Benson's views
influenced his actions as Secretary of Agriculture in the
Eisenhower Administration; his dedication to the conservative
movement, from alliances with Barry Goldwater and the John Birch
Society to his condemnation of the civil rights movement as a
communist front; how his concept of the principal of free agency
became central to Mormon theology; his advocacy of traditional
gender roles as a counterbalance to liberalism; and the events and
implications of Benson's term as Church president. Contributors:
Gary James Bergera, Matthew Bowman, Newell G. Bringhurst, Brian Q.
Cannon, Robert A. Goldberg, Matthew L. Harris, J. B. Haws, and
Andrea G. Radke-Moss
