Reviews

Goodreads review by Jonathan

I have been excited for this book for months. I was able to get on the prerelease team so I could read it before it came out. Between this and Voddie Baucham’s book Faultlines believers have no reason to be surprised by our current cultural thoughts on race nor should they not be thoroughly equipped......more

Goodreads review by Ben

There's been something of an explosion of books on social justice and Critical Theory written from a Christian perspective over the last couple of years. This has been a welcome development, because what Owen Strachan calls "Wokeness" has rapidly infiltrated the church and the church has, for lack o......more

Goodreads review by Keller

Excellent book. Strachan covers some of the same ground that can be found in Baucham's Faultlines or David Scott Allen's Why Social Justice is not Biblical Justice, however, Strachan deals more extensively with Biblical response. Rather than just defining the issues, he explains the issues and then......more

Goodreads review by Chris

Quotes

“Owen Strachan has done a great service to the Church not only by taking aim at one of her most dangerous foes (wokeness), but also by pointing her again and again to her all-sufficient Savior and head.” Voddie Baucham, Jr., dean of the School of Divinity at African Christian University and author of Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe

“This is an alarming and remarkably insightful book.” Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary

“Owen Strachan dissects and dismantles the present-day ‘woke’ movement with theological precision and a polemical rebuttal…If truth is to be cherished, error must be exposed—and denounced. Strachan does both in this book.” Steven J. Lawson, president of OnePassion Ministries in Dallas, Texas

“Dr. Owen Strachan reminds believers in Christ of precisely why both the ‘meat’ and ‘bones’ of wokeness must be rejected. The evangelical Church will benefit greatly from the scriptural and scholastic heavy lifting Dr. Strachan has undertaken in this extremely helpful and timely work.” Darrell Harrison, dean of social media at Grace to You and cohost of the Just Thinking podcast

“Woke teaching, Critical Race Theory, and intersectionality should not be in the toolchest of a Christian. This book is an excellent introduction to these destructive heresies and a powerful presentation of the only truth that brings lasting reconciliation: the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Ken Ham, founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis
