THE COLLECTED SERMONS OF JIM JONES, VOLUME VII: THE 1973 SERMONS, PART TWO
What does it cost to belong? In 1973, Jim Jones was building something — a community held together by vision, fear, racial justice, and the slow erosion of the self. The sermons in this volume show him doing that work in real time.
In this seventh volume of The Collected Sermons of Jim Jones, theologian and activist Jeff Hood presents eight sermons from 1973, drawn from the federal archive catalogued after the Jonestown massacre. Under titles that speak plainly — Forces, God, Discipline, Whites, Hungry — Jones can be heard shaping a people, tightening his grip, and preaching a gospel that was already becoming something else entirely.
Hood is not here to excuse. He is here to witness. These sermons document the machinery of belonging weaponized: community twisted into control, discipline into coercion, hope into a trap with no exit. The themes of this volume — racial justice co-opted, hunger as leverage, preemptive loyalty — reveal Jones constructing the architecture of Jonestown years before anyone arrived in the jungle.
