This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in the recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched."--John MacArthurIn this rigorously reported exposé, a writer for the Daily Wire exposes the outside forces, including progressive secular billionaires, trying to influence Christian churches across America.Many American Christians are struggling to find places of worship which reflect their core conservative beliefs. 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.Liberal 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, Daily Wire 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, Evangelicals for Rent 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.Basham 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. Evangelicals for Rent is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the tensions in modern Evangelicalism and the secular forces buffeting today's believers.
