SWORD OF THE LORD

Sword is a fundie publication that was started by John R. Rice in 1934 and is still being published.  The contributors are Grade AAA fundie wackos: Dr. Bob Jones, Sr., Dr Bob Jones, Jr., Dr. Carl McIntire and the Rev. Jerry Falwell.   Dr. Billy Graham served on the board until he endorsed the Revised Standard Version of the Bible and was denounced by Rice when Graham cooperated with the National Council of Churches. This is the kind of sectarian hostility that led our Founders to abjure any national religion.
