Krakauer’s book juxtaposed the 1984 murders Brenda Lafferty and her baby daughter Erica, with the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In Under the Banner of Heaven, Krakauer’s thesis is that “faith is the very antithesis of reason.” The FX miniseries follows a similar pattern but complicates some of Krakauer’s ideas. We’ll explore those complications this Friday at noon and Saturday at noon.
