From the very beginnings of critical theory in the depths of academia to its use in justifying riots and arson in the name of a dubious equity agenda, a renowned philosopher unveils the intellectual roots of this insidious mental virus and outlines practical steps for rational thinkers to combat its pervasive spread.

Amidst the ongoing controversies surrounding race and gender in society, what can we as Jesus followers do to contribute positively to the world? Do we have any valuable insights to offer? The answer is a resounding yes, and this book serves as a guide to show us the way.

A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is at the heart of the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It infiltrates curricula in public schools and in our military. It even finds its way into our churches. You may have heard terms such as "white privilege," the demand for "safe spaces" on campuses, and perhaps the perplexing "intersectionality."

Behind all of these is an ideology known as critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It asserts that America is "systemically racist" and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should take precedence over the perspectives of the dominant (and oppressing) culture. Regrettably, this flawed perspective is gaining traction in our culture and infiltrating many of our churches.

In this book, we delve into the significance of critical theory, examine its origins, question its objectives, and subject it to a logical critique. Readers will:

Gain a deeper understanding of critical theory and its pervasive influence in various aspects of society.
Recognize how it contradicts a Christian worldview and undermines the values of the American Founding.
Discover effective strategies to counter critical theory constructively.

However, there is a biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics. It is a path that is righteous and true. It is grounded in the principles of the American Founding.

As Jesus followers, we have a responsibility to stand up for what is right and true. We must reject the false narratives propagated by critical theory and embrace a worldview that is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. We must be willing to engage in meaningful dialogue, seek understanding, and work towards building a society that is fair, just, and compassionate for all.

In conclusion, the challenges we face in our society are complex and multifaceted. However, as followers of Jesus, we have the power and the knowledge to make a difference. By embracing a biblical alternative to critical theory and standing up for the values that uphold our nation, we can contribute positively to the world and help restore the glory of God.
