Synopsis

A famed preacher, professor, and cultural anthropologist reveals the cancer of woke theology that has permeated seminaries and that threatens the evangelical church itself. Plus a call to all Christian congregations to eschew the lure of critical theory and hold to the path of an individual relationship with God.USA TODAY BESTSELLER!We are standing on shaky ground.As a wave of violent riots protesting the death of a black man at the hands of police shook the nation in the summer of 2020, most Americans were shocked. Christians nationwide, eager to fulfill their God-given calling to bring peace and reconciliation, took to pulpits and social media in droves to affirm that “black lives matter” and proclaim that racial justice “is a gospel issue.”But what if those Christians, those ministers, and those powerful ministries don’t know the whole story behind the new movement that’s been making waves in their congregations? Even worse: What if they’ve been duped into adopting a set of ideas that not only don’t align with the Kingdom of God, but stand diametrically opposed to it?In this powerful audiobook, pastor, professor, and leading cultural apologist Voddie Baucham explains the sinister worldview behind the social justice movement and how it has quietly spread like a fault system, not only through our culture, but throughout the evangelical church in America. He also details the devastation it is already wreaking—and what we can do to get back on solid ground before it’s too late.Whether you’re a layperson who feels like you’ve just woken up in a strange new world and wonder how to engage both sensitively and effectively in the conversation on race, or a pastor who’s wondering how to deal with increasingly polarized factions within your congregation, this audiobook will provide the clarity and understanding you need to either hold your ground, or reclaim it.

Goodreads review by Chrys Jones on November 15, 2021

The CRT and social justice conversations are still in full force in evangelicalism. For years, the war was waged via Youtube videos, sermon clips, discernment blogs, and social media threads. I’ve longed for long-form writing on these matters, and finally, books are being written discussing these ma......more

Goodreads review by David on April 14, 2021

Trouble has been brewing for some while now. Social justice warriors have taken to the streets, courtroom, and universities. Most recently, social justice has penetrated the church walls. While many applaud the social justice movement, including well-known evangelical leaders, a few are standing str......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on April 06, 2021

The heart of Voddie Baucham’s book “Fault Lines” can be summarized with this sentence: “there is not a book in the world that is better suited to address men on the issue of race than the Bible. That is not to say that there is no help to be found in other books. It is, however, to say that they are......more

Goodreads review by Joost on May 05, 2021

Baucham has done painstaking research in an area that is dividing our nation, and even more troubling, the church. Several of my friends--at one time robust, biblical Christians--have embraced CSJ and CRT, and now are immune to facts, evidence, biblical reasoning, and the law of non-contradiction. B......more

Goodreads review by Brian on January 24, 2024

A mixed bag. I resonate with much of Voddie’s analysis of CRT, BLM, and other justice-related issues. I appreciate his candid telling of his own story as a black man. And I agree with his basic understanding of the gospel. But on the other hand, I think Voddie is too harsh in his remarks about other......more


Quotes

“Through a mixture of autobiography, incisive analysis, and a careful sifting of the statements made and positions taken by Critical Race theorists, Voddie Baucham exposes the anti-biblical, anti-God presuppositions upon which CRT is founded. This audiobook is a must-listen for all Christians, but especially for evangelicals who, in the name of justice and compassion, have been lured into supporting a movement that denies, in the most radical way, that we are all creatures made in the image of God but fallen into sin.” Louis Markos, PhD, professor of English and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University and author of Atheism on Trial: Refuting the Modern Arguments Against God

“The weaving of the stories and the reporting with the solid and clear teaching is perfect…Fault Lines is great. I shall be requiring it of my students.” Mark DeVine, PhD, associate professor of divinity at Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School

“Social justice is one of the most devious and destructive movements the Church has faced in the last hundred years. Voddie Baucham, like a capable doctor, diagnoses the problem and in a skillful manner directs his listeners to the biblical solution.” Josh Buice, PhD, pastor of Pray’s Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia, and founder and president of G3 Ministries

“The theological work is precise; the personal narrative is arresting and moving; the cultural analysis is razor-sharp and driven not by buzzwords but by data. Even as Baucham renders critique, he does so in love, with a spirit of upbuilding.” Owen Strachan, PhD, associate professor of Christian theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of Christianity and Wokeness
