Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America's fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936948322535,"sku":"9781400032808","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_6c439d51-fd9c-4f96-a9eb-b0b4bb26893b.jpg?v=1774994711","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/under-the-banner-of-heaven-a-story-of-violent-faith","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
