The Waco Dilemma: Cult or Government Overreach?
This chapter explores the contrasting perceptions of the Waco incident, examining the Branch Davidians as either a cult led by David Koresh or victims of government overreach. It traces the origins of the group back to the 1840s and highlights the complex dynamics and beliefs of its members, particularly their apocalyptic expectations. The narrative further addresses the rise and fall of Koresh, the theological implications of his leadership, and the tragic consequences of the conflict that ensued.
