For Chidester, Jonestown recalls the American religious commitment to redemptive sacrifice, which for Jim Jones meant saving his followers from the evils of capitalist society. "Jonestown is ancient history," writes Chidester, but it does provide us with an opportunity "to reflect upon the strangeness of familiar... promises of redemption through sacrifice.".Religion in North America.289.9Chidester David658698MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996248065903316Salvation and Suicide2312875UNISA
