This article focuses on the book "Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil," by Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett. Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett argue the case for the existence of a century-long de facto cooperative arrangement between the Rockefeller empire and the most effective, ambitious and zealous of fundamentalist missionary groups. The final paragraphs of Thy Will Be Done note the emergence of the Zapatista rebel movement in the Mexican state of Chiapas, where Wycliffe Bible whiz kids cut their teeth in the thirties.
