Today, many Evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider 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 are now promoting social justice rather than Scripture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiberal theology isn’t new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error since the days of the New Testament. But in recent decades, \u003cem\u003eDaily Wire\u003c\/em\u003e reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been secretly sowing seeds of discord, much like the Soviets once did. Based on years of investigation, \u003cem\u003eShepherds for Sale\u003c\/em\u003e documents how progressive powerbrokers—from George Soros and the founder of eBay to former members of the Obama administration—set out to transform American Christians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasham accuses secular foundations and think tanks of deliberately targeting Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and entire denominations, not to mention high-profile pastors and influencers. In exchange, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. She has uncovered corruption and compromise at the highest levels of Evangelical leadership, follows the money, names names, and offers proof of her findings. \u003cem\u003eShepherds for Sale\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the tensions in modern Evangelicalism and the secular forces buffeting today’s believers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49341810114864,"sku":"ZEikux","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49341810147632,"sku":"ZMikux","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/608074-ikux-Square.jpg?v=1734068983","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ikux","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
