Summary
This document appears to be page 122 of a manuscript or memoir (Chapter 6: Pentecostal Phase Transitions) retrieved during a House Oversight investigation. The text is written from the perspective of a 'secular Jewish psychiatrist' father describing his two sons' religious conversion from a mixed Jewish/Christian Science background to Evangelical Pentacostalism during the post-Vietnam era of the 1960s and 70s. The narrator expresses skepticism regarding his sons' newfound faith, referring to it internally as 'denial' while noting their rejection of his own 'vacuous mélange' of beliefs.
