My new non-fiction project, “Christians & Conspiracy Theories: Investigating Alternative Truth-Claims without Buying in to Fear, Fanaticism, or Tribalism,” is now available! Here’s the back cover blurb:
***
The Great Reset. Bigfoot. Anti-Vaxxism. UFOs.
Conspiracy theories are no longer a fringe phenomenon. Thanks to the internet and media amplification, conspiracies that were once far-fetched are now mainstream. Talk of a Great Reset and a coming New World Order are no longer isolated claims whispered in obscure internet chat rooms. Cabals of powerful people seeking to fundamentally re-shape our world now openly broadcast their agendas.
Christians are called to be truth-seekers. They are to be discerning of “the signs of the times” (Matt. 16:3) and the “devil’s schemes” (Eph. 6:11). Followers of Christ have long believed in a Plan, a Divine Conspiracy unfolding throughout history; the Seed of the Serpent waging war against the Seed of the Woman. As such, being aware of contemporary conspiracy claims and how to interrogate them, can be essential to a Christian witness.
Nevertheless, some caution Christians against interest in conspiracy theorism. They portray evangelicals as wingnuts, gullible to fake news and fringe beliefs. But is this portrayal accurate? Should Christians avoid researching conspiracy claims just because some go off the deep end? And what about those claims that have been proven true? Should Christians just continue to blindly trust the government, the media, and the “experts”?
This book is about conspiracy theories, and how Christians should interact with them. It’s about becoming your own fact-checker and going where the truth leads you. It’s about fine-tuning your BS-detector and using Scripture as your ultimate conspiracy barometer.
The truth is out there. And it wants to be found.
