Book description
"This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched."--John MacArthurHow deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America's churches?Liberal theology isn't new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error for centuries. But in recent decades, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been sowing seeds of discord from behind the scenes. In Shepherds for Sale, Basham documents how progressive powerbrokers --from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration-- set out to change the American church. Secular foundations and think tanks have deliberately targeted Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations, not to mention many high-profile pastors and influencers, with infiltration and astroturf campaigns. Their goal: to co-opt the church for political purposes. In exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Now, many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to "whisper" about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of "perpetuating systemic racism." Meanwhile, America's largest evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries once known for publishing sound doctrine are now promoting social justice.Through years of investigation, Basham uncovered compromise at the highest levels of evangelical leadership --from the revered Presbyterian theologian who furtively backed a rogue congregation rebelling against his own denomination, to the celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality. A rigorously reported exposรฉ, Shepherds for Sale serves as a warning of what can happen when a church forgets that true power lies not in the world's wisdom, but in Scripture.
