Abstract [en]

This chapter discusses the Process Church of the Final Judgement, an apocalyptic organization founded by Robert DeGrimston and Mary Anne DeGrimston, active primarily in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Focused on the idea of a unity between the gods of the universe (Jehovah, Lucifer, Satan, and Christ), the Process Church developed a highly original form of theology. Becoming manifest in the counter-cultural milieu of the 1960s, it combined Satanism with Christian apocalypticism and ideas derived from Scientology. The chapter then looks at two texts that were distributed internally within the Process Church: “The Gods on War” (1967) and “The Gods and Their People” (1970). These texts express the foundational beliefs of the Process Church, each of the gods being offered their own chapter explaining their nature and the nature of their followers.
