Ă propos de ce livre
"What is truth?" said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer.
âFrancis 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 consequencesâand 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:
âą evaluating evidence and forming beliefs
âą the Satanic Panic of the 1960sâ1990s
âą understanding scientific methodology
âą conspiracy theories' appeal to those searching for meaning
âą the consequences of social media and echo chambers
âą productive dialog with people who hold different opinions
âą intellectualism in the life of faith
âą conspiracy theories in Scripture
âą 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.
