“What is truth?” said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer.
-Francis Bacon
Although Christians are followers of the Truth, many find themselves tempted by the alternate “truths” offered by conspiracy theories. Christianity and conspiracy theories have had a long, complicated relationship. But today conspiracy theories are bringing our already polarized society to the brink of chaos. QAnon, the Big Lie, and anti-vaccination theories thrive online, disrupting faith communities. This timely essay collection explores the allure of conspiracy theories and their consequences-and ultimately offers gospel-based paths forward.
Accessible to all concerned believers, QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross features scholars of religion, ethics, and public life on the following topics:
*evaluating evidence and forming beliefs
*the Satanic Panic of the 1960s-1990s
*understanding scientific methodology
*conspiracy theories’ appeal to those searching for meaning
*the consequences of social media and echo chambers
*productive dialog with people who hold different opinions
*intellectualism in the life of faith
*conspiracy theories in Scripture
*QAnon’s religious rhetoric
Complete with a guide to reasoning, which outlines both logical fallacies and intellectual virtues, QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross is an indispensable resource for all Christians seeking the truth.
