Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Book excerpt: Ezra Taft Benson is perhaps the most controversial apostle-president in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For nearly fifty years he delivered impassioned sermons in Utah and elsewhere, mixing religion with ultraconservative right-wing political views and conspiracy theories. His teachings inspired Mormon extremists to stockpile weapons, predict the end of the world, and commit acts of violence against their government. The First Presidency rebuked him, his fellow apostles wanted him disciplined, and grassroots Mormons called for his removal from the Quorum of the Twelve. Yet Benson was beloved by millions of Latter-day Saints, who praised him for his stances against communism, socialism, and the welfare state, and admired his service as secretary of agriculture under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Using previously restricted documents from archives across the United States, Matthew L. Harris breaks new ground as the first to evaluate why Benson embraced a radical form of conservatism, and how under his leadership Mormons became the most reliable supporters of the Republican Party of any religious group in America.

Book excerpt: For government minded Latter-day Saints, Ezra Taft Benson's "The Proper Role of Government" is likely one of the most influential talks on government. With the basic principles laid out so clearly, even our politically novice 20-year-old (the age we first encountered this masterpiece) brain could grasp the simple yet profound principles found in Benson's talk. It became clear that we could make the world a better place if we would just go back to applying them. This book does not seek to "improve" upon the timeless classic because principles can't really be improved (or else they cannot be called principles), although our understanding of them can be. What we hope to do is show how you can (with courage) apply the principles laid out in this now classic talk. After all, what good does it do us to know something if we don't apply it?In this book, you will find Benson's original talk in full plus the following (for each of his fifteen principles):1.The principle2.Where the principle originates3.The Founding Fathers' teachings on them4.Real-life examples of how to apply them, both in government and in our personal lives.
