Fault Lines
About This Book
After George Floyd died in police custody in the summer of 2020, American cities erupted in unrest, and many churchgoers responded from the pulpit and on social media. They endorsed the slogan that Black lives matter and argued that racial justice is a matter of the gospel. Voddie Baucham asks whether the social justice movement is more than these believers understand, and whether some of them have been persuaded to preach ideas that work against God's kingdom. Baucham, a preacher, professor, and cultural apologist, examines the worldview behind the social justice movement and Critical Race Theory. He shows how these ideas have reached some theological seminaries, where they have set off conflict within denominations and cost people their positions and their livelihoods. Baucham describes the issue as a geological fault running beneath American society as a whole and the evangelical church in particular. The book is written for ordinary church members who feel they have woken up in an unfamiliar cultural climate and want to discuss race wisely and effectively. It also speaks to pastors trying to lead congregations split over these questions, offering the clarity they need to hold their ground or win back what they have lost.
