The Collected Sermons of Jim Jones The Collected Sermons of Jim Jones, Book 7, (Paperback)

<p><strong>THE COLLECTED SERMONS OF JIM JONES, VOLUME VII: THE 1973 SERMONS, PART TWO</strong></p><p>What does it cost to belong? In 1973, Jim Jones was building something - a community held together by vision, fear, racial justice, and the slow erosion of the self. The sermons in this volume show him doing that work in real time.</p><p>In this seventh volume of <em>The Collected Sermons of Jim Jones</em>, theologian and activist Jeff Hood presents eight sermons from 1973, drawn from the federal archive catalogued after the Jonestown massacre. Under titles that speak plainly - Forces, God, Discipline, Whites, Hungry - Jones can be heard shaping a people, tightening his grip, and preaching a gospel that was already becoming something else entirely.</p><p>Hood is not here to excuse. He is here to witness. These sermons document the machinery of belonging weaponized: community twisted into control, discipline into coercion, hope into a trap with no exit. The themes of this volume - racial justice co-opted, hunger as leverage, preemptive loyalty - reveal Jones constructing the architecture of Jonestown years before anyone arrived in the jungle.</p>
