Christians, Don’t Question Authority

Go In the face of a huge loss of faith in our leaders, Michael W. Austin and Gregory L. Bock recruited a couple dozen evangelical professors to exhort naysayers in the pews to steer clear of "conspiracy theories" and dissenting opinions. Apart from a lot of generic epistemological and conversational advice, QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross manages to learn and teach the wrong lesson from the early twenties. Captive to a technocratic and partisan bent, the book fails to wonder why there has been such a loss of faith in authority. Worse, on the whole, the book discourages average Christians from “doing their own research” and questioning government sanctioned experts.
