Recommended Resources on Critical Theory

Critical Theory and all of it’s various cultural incarnations (Social Justice, Intersectionality, Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory, etc.) is a toxic ideology that is destructive to the church and society as a whole. As followers of Christ, we are to dedicated to the truth and to loving our neighbors. As such, we should oppose falsehood and injustices in our society. At this time in America, there is no more pernicious and nefarious injustice being perpetrated on the American people than the lie of Critical Theory.

The problems in our culture cannot be solved by divisive untruths. They need the Gospel of Christ.

Below are several resources that present the facts about Critical Theory so that we may be equipped to  understand and respond to the culture around us on these issues.
