Jimmy Swaggart wept. Josh Duggar downloaded. Ravi Zacharias told his victims they were his reward from God. Ted Haggard lobbied against gay rights while paying a male escort. Jim Bakker sold Heaven and delivered fraud. Tony Alamo married children. Mother Teresa let the dying suffer for theology. And behind each name stands an institution that looked away, paid out, or closed ranks. Pulpit Predators examines forty-four religious figures across Christianity's broadest spectrum, from megachurch celebrities to forgotten local pastors, building a damning portrait of the systems that make their conduct possible and the survivors who paid the price for it.
