“[The director’s] reluctance to endorse one side in America’s political struggle will infuriate those on both the left and right. But his film isn’t about laying blame or predicting how or why political violence might come to America. He’s just reminding his audience that we have it in us.” ~ Colin Garbarino - WNG

Jeroboam is a sociologist of religion…He understands the community-building power of ritual and sets out to exploit it, manipulating religious images to maintain social and political cohesion and attempting to harness the forces of worship in support of his political power. ~ Peter Leithard

How the Mighty Fall ~ Jim Collins

“Hubris has been called the spiritual sin. It is the other side of unbelief, turning to one’s self, in the totality of one’s being, as the center of one’s self and one’s world…The self-elevation of man into the sphere of the divine.”
