The United Pentecostal Church-sponsored Conquerors Bible College
was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953. It closed abruptly in
1983. The denomination attributed the failure of the college to
financial causes. Heretics and Politics argues that the financial
crisis at CBC was rooted in theological controversy, church
politics, conflicting models of education, and sustained suspicions
of heresy. In seeking to delineate the several factors which
destroyed CBC, historian Thomas A. Fudge has looked closely at the
context, critically assessed a wide range of surviving documents,
and taken into account the diversity of oral history. The narrative
is neither an institutional history nor a biographical account.
Instead, it explores the challenge of formal education within the
UPC and evaluates the politics of change within that denomination
in the Pacific Northwest. Both issues are assessed through the
prism of CBC. The story of the last days of CBC illuminates
important developments in the Pacific Northwest. The story is told
against the broader canvas of events transpiring within American
religious history. Heretics and Politics is the first book to deal
with any aspect of the history of CBC. Its probing narrative
chronicles both institutional upheaval and personal tragedy.
