The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism

In this program, Lerone Martin, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute at Stanford University, discusses his recent book, The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover, which reveals how Hoover and his FBI teamed up with leading white evangelicals and Catholics to bring about a white Christian America by any means necessary. His research draws on thousands of newly declassified FBI documents, including a civil lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for FBI files on Billy Graham. Martin takes readers from the pulpits and pews of small-town America to the Oval Office, and from the grassroots to denominational boardrooms. In this talk, Martin transforms how we understand the FBI, white evangelicalism, and our nation’s entangled history of religion and politics. Recorded on 02/20/2024. [Show ID: 39809]

    As one who had Dr. Martin as a professor (he also taught at St. Louis' Eden Seminary during his days at Wash U), it was good to hear him teach again. I've been wanting to read the book in question since he is no slouch when it comes to historical research.

    Just so were clear, White Christian Nationalism was already a fully developed self-fueling machine before the FBI was formed. The FBI chose to infiltrate these groups in order to prevent them from taking positions against private capital, the true power brokers in the US. It had nothing to do with faith. In the late 19th and early 20th century Christian groups across the country turned to socialism and fought against the destructive rise of industrial capitalism which predated upon workers, the environment and the social infrastructure of the family.

    It seems like the more godlike they are the more evil they are, weird! Could it be, SATAN?!?!? The Holy Bible clearly states that God, Jehovah El Elohim Yahweh said, "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I, the LORD, do all these things." Isaiah 45:7 Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Amos 3:6 And he is proud of the evil that he creates. Behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall. 1 Kings 14:10 Behold, this evil is of the LORD. 2 Kings 6:33 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle. 2 Kings 21:12 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book. 2 Chronicles 34:24 All the evil that the LORD had brought upon him Job 42:11 The Lord ... will bring evil. Isaiah 31:1-2 I will bring evil from the north and great destruction. Jeremiah 4:6 I will bring evil upon these people, even the fruit of their thoughts. Jeremiah 6:19 I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. Jeremiah 11:11 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you. Jeremiah 18:11 I will bring evil upon this place; whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. Jeremiah 19:3 I will bring evil upon them. Jeremiah 23:12 For thus saith the LORD ... I have brought all this great evil upon this people. Jeremiah 32:42 Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them. Jeremiah 36:3 None of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. Jeremiah 42:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil I have brought upon Jerusalem.

Amos 9:4 The inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD. Micah 1:12 Behold, against this family, do I devise an evil. Micah 2:3 Things the Bible says that God has done: The LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon... And there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. Exodus 12:29-30 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died. Numbers 21:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Samuel 15:2-3 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit and children of a span long? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed and not pitied. Lam.2:20-21 Things the Bible says God plans to do in the future: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. Lev.26:16 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters. Deuteronomy 28:53 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine.

    I loved presentation but had difficulty putting it in context. I think the title and framing may get in the way of the stor(at least as presented in lecture). Everything changed during Hoover. The world changed. People got cars. The U.S. became 50 states. The social welfare state was created. There were real communist governments costing tens of millions of lives. He came in as the Klan was waning and civil rights activism rose.The place of women in society was revolutionized. "God and Country" was not just a "Christian Nationalist" ideal. The nation was in real turmoil in the 60's. And Hoover was very powerful (for being the head of a law enforcement agency}. But neither was he the cause of all the change. The story is important--but carries the risk of whenever on looks at broad cultural change and the impact of one variable (e.g. Hoover) on that. Puting White Evangelicalism at the center of American religiosity is grossly overstated.

    Seriously! An evangelical by the name of Billy Graham told his fellow evangelicals that Jesus was black in the 1960s. They have most definitely been in denial ever since. Notwithstanding, I grew up with the teachings of Thomas Merton, courtesy of my mother and the Black Catholic Movement and Dr. James Cone also courtesy of my mother and the Civil Rights Movement. So I was raised to believe white Christian theology was the problem with Christianity.

    I have always wondered if there was a separate version of heaven for Christians who are a different race from whites. If we can’t live in peace and unity on earth, what’s heaven going to be like?

    @@dl1361 Sorry it sounded like that. Actually I was remarking on white Christian’s racism. If they don’t like blacks, Hispanics and Asians here on earth how are they going to cope in an ‘all race’ heaven? I wonder if they even think about it. I’m white, used to be a Christian, but gave it up because of the hypocrisy. I was taught that god created us all no matter the race or colour. Yet whites because of their colour believe they are superior. They forget that Jesus was dark skinned, dark haired and brown eyed. So white skinned Christians must believe they are more superior to their saviour. The hypocrisy is incredible and I don’t want to have anything to do with it.

    Yea, it was all a cover for Jesuits and Masons. Public perception is crucial to justify their mission and practices. August Cesar did the same with his moral laws but was degenerate himself.

    RFK, as attorney general, was technically Hoover's boss, but he was about 30 years younger than Hoover. Hoover was obsessed with himself and his bureau and he detested anyone who he felt wasn't showing proper respect. As I recall from previous reading, that perceived lack of respect is what set Hoover's hatred (I believe that's the appropriate word) for MLK Jr. MLK was invited to meet with Hoover but MLK was really busy at the time, so Hoover took that as an unforgivable insult.

    Wow... "I'm not Christian anymore"... great way to chase a good amount of people away from this possibly important talk. Why not feature some Thomas Sowell content? You probably have no interest in what he has to say, but you should. Goodbye.
