Description: Description Title: Heretics and Politics: Theology, Power, and Perception in the Last Days of CBC [Conquerors Bible College, Portland, Oregon] Author: Thomas A. Fudge Description: Fine/fine. Blue cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Clean and unmarked. Binding tight. Dust jacket in an archival mylar sleeve. 196 illustrations. Index. pp. xxiv, 502. ''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.
