Shepherds for Sale
About This Book
"This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched."âJohn MacArthur
How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America's churches?
In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers âfrom George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administrationâ set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:
·The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations
·The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality
·The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination
These are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. 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." And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise.Basham brings the receipts, and names names.
A rigorously reportedexposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world's wisdom instead of Scripture.
