Summary
We are standing on shaky ground。
As a wave of violent riots protesting the death of a black man at the hands of police shook the nation in the summer of 2020， most Americans were shocked。 Christians nationwide， eager to fulfill their God-given calling to bring peace and reconciliation， took to pulpits and social media in droves to affirm that “black lives matter” and proclaim that racial justice “is a gospel issue。”
But what if those Christians， those ministers， and those powerful ministries don’t know the whole story behind the new movement that’s been making waves in their congregations？ Even worse: what if they’ve been duped into adopting a set of ideas that not only don’t align with the Kingdom of God， but stand diametrically opposed to it？
In this powerful book， pastor， professor， and leading cultural apologist Voddie Baucham explains the sinister worldview behind the social justice movement and how it has quietly spread like a fault system， not only through our culture， but throughout the evangelical church in America。 He also details the devastation it is already wreaking—and what we can do to get back on solid ground before it’s too late。
Whether you’re a layperson who feels like you’ve just woken up in a strange new world and wonder how to engage both sensitively and effectively in the conversation on race， or a pastor who’s wondering how to deal with increasingly polarized factions within your congregation， this book will provide the clarity and understanding you need to either hold your ground， or reclaim it。

Fault Lines is a pretty good book。 It was not what I was expecting。 I was expecting Baucham to give a detailed exposition of scripture over and against Critical Race Theory and antiracism。 However， he reserved any real scriptural response to the last chapter。 This book provides a good introduction to what is CRT and antiracism for the beginner and in this way is helpful， along with the fact that Baucham exposes many of the statistical incongruencies spouted in common CRT arguments。 He makes plai Fault Lines is a pretty good book。 It was not what I was expecting。 I was expecting Baucham to give a detailed exposition of scripture over and against Critical Race Theory and antiracism。 However， he reserved any real scriptural response to the last chapter。 This book provides a good introduction to what is CRT and antiracism for the beginner and in this way is helpful， along with the fact that Baucham exposes many of the statistical incongruencies spouted in common CRT arguments。 He makes plain the flaws of CRT and by connection how that it is a heretical countergospel doctrine。 I especially like his analogies of CRT to a religious cult which has it's own gospel， martyrs， priesthood， canon， atonement， and more。 I could go on， but just read the book for yourself。 。。。more

This is an important book。 It is a book Christians have very much needed in view of the direction of recent cultural narratives。 For Christians， it has been a confusing few years。 It wasn't noticeable for most of us at the time， but it probably started with the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012。 At least， that's when the organization 'Black Lives Matter' first showed up。 The cultural movement became much more noticeable after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson in 2014 with the severe protests This is an important book。 It is a book Christians have very much needed in view of the direction of recent cultural narratives。 For Christians， it has been a confusing few years。 It wasn't noticeable for most of us at the time， but it probably started with the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012。 At least， that's when the organization 'Black Lives Matter' first showed up。 The cultural movement became much more noticeable after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson in 2014 with the severe protests that followed。While those deaths （and others） were obviously tragic and saddening， my concerns about this movement only really began in earnest in 2018 after the MLK50 conference， commemorating the death of Dr。 King in 1968。 It wasn't simply the fact that MLK was being remembered， but how。 At that time， language that had previously been heard primarily among liberals began to be heard from what had up till now been conservative Christian voices。 What are Christians to make of calls to declare "Black Lives Matter"， to stand up for 'antiracism'， and to affirm， without questions or judgment the lived experiences of oppression by minorities？ What are we to make of terms like "Critical Race Theory" or "Social Justice"？Voddie Baucham has written the book that answers those questions from a Christian perspective。 This movement is not going away， it is only getting stronger - which should give Christians， of all people pause in view of the explicitly Marxist， Feminist， and LGBT+ origins of the key founders in question。 If you are uncertain how to respond to these questions， you would find it beneficial to read this book。 If you have friends or family who are now using the language of this movement， you would find it beneficial to read this book。 If you are a Christian who considers this movement important and biblical， you definitely would find it beneficial to read this book。 I can't promise a short or easy read （nearly 250 pages， while addressing philosophical foundations that are not always well-known to the average Christian or easily understood）， nor is it especially easy to obtain （Amazon currently has the hardcover version available for delivery by May 7-13 as of this writing）， but it is an important read at this moment and time， and it is becoming more vital than ever for Christians to be informed and prepared to respond to this cultural phenomenon。Just so it is clear， I affirm with Dr。 Baucham that racism and injustice very much exist， including in the church。 Partiality of various forms always has been a problem， even for Christians （James 2）， and that is no different today， although he （and I） would question the degree to which the problem itself exists。 The concern I share with him is the appropriate method for Christians to respond to these problems that remains consistent with the Scripture。 I believe Dr。 Baucham's answers are biblical， wise， and timely。 。。。more

This was an excellent book。 Voddie reminds me here why I have admired and appreciated him so much over the years。 My wife Lauren and I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at Cedarville University's chapel twice in 2006 when we were attending there， and he still communicates with the same grace， truth， and love that he did back then。In short， this is a book about arguably the most pressing issue facing the church in our lifetimes。 Will social justice and critical theory be allowed to fundamenta This was an excellent book。 Voddie reminds me here why I have admired and appreciated him so much over the years。 My wife Lauren and I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at Cedarville University's chapel twice in 2006 when we were attending there， and he still communicates with the same grace， truth， and love that he did back then。In short， this is a book about arguably the most pressing issue facing the church in our lifetimes。 Will social justice and critical theory be allowed to fundamentally transform our understanding of God's Word， ourselves， salvation， grace， sin， and the gospel？ Or will the church standing in humble confidence and faith on the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture continue to be salt and light as Christ our Savior calls us to？Here is Voddie Baucham's story。 But here also is all of our story。 May we be found faithful， and hear those words from the Savior - "Well done， good and faithful servant。 Enter now into your place of rest。"Yet before us now is a great challenge。 And we must be willing to endure slings and arrows and accusations of every kind - of being racist， oppressive， caring only about power and the status quo - if we maintain that God alone has the authority to define what is and is not truth， justice， and love。Here is a compelling and well-told history of American evangelical Christianity grappling with Marxist critical theory as the latter attempts to infiltrate and subvert the eternal and immutable gospel of Jesus Christ。 Read it and be challenged， encouraged， and informed。 。。。more

Outstanding book！ Helpful I’m getting me to understand CERT and the current societal trends。 I had read Latasha Morrison‘s book and it did not ring true to me - now I know why！ She embraces certain theories that go against my Christian worldview。 Voddie has a very level-headed intellectual， godly approach to this very serious subject。

I especially loved hearing his own story—very inspiring！ I also loved his commitment to seeing everything through the primary lens of Christ and Scripture， and I felt like I really got a handle on CRT， especially the religious nature of it。

Voddie Baucham's "Fault Lines" is an autobiographical reflection and critique of the Social Justice movement。 He looks at the larger movement， but focuses on the way it has infiltrated the church and its educational institutions。 He is obviously quite concerned， and justifiably so。The first two chapters are autobiographical to help his readers see that it is personal accountability and generational reformation that is required， rather than wholesale changes to our nation's culture that are requi Voddie Baucham's "Fault Lines" is an autobiographical reflection and critique of the Social Justice movement。 He looks at the larger movement， but focuses on the way it has infiltrated the church and its educational institutions。 He is obviously quite concerned， and justifiably so。The first two chapters are autobiographical to help his readers see that it is personal accountability and generational reformation that is required， rather than wholesale changes to our nation's culture that are required。 He addresses this explicitly in chapter 8 when he says， "Those attempting to blame fatherlessness， crim， and a lack of black achievement today on the legacy of slavery must account for the fact that one hundred years after slavery ended， blacks， according to many measures， were actually doing better than they have in the sixty years since the Civil Rights Act。" p。 162 This is a fact that is conveniently memory-holed， in the the clamor for "social justice。" For the social justice warrior is of necessity， a statist， offering political solutions， rather than gospel solutions。Baucham lays out the case that the media has created a false narrative that leads the public to believe that the police are killing blacks at a much higher rate than whites。 Yes， blacks are killed by police， but so are people of other ethnicities。 It is entirely disingenuous to say it is blacks alone that are victims of police violence。 There is in fact no evidence that shows that blacks are disproportionately the victims of police violence。 It is in fact a media and state generated narrative that is not only untrue， but unnecessarily divisive and corrosive to the social fabric。In chapter four， Baucham argues that antiracism is a a new religion "with its own cosmology （CT/CRT/I）; original sin （racism）; law （antiracism）; gospel （racial reconciliation）; martyrs （Saints Trayvon， Mike， George， Breonna， etc。）; priests （oppressed minorities）; means of atonement （reparations）; new birth （wokeness）; liturgy （lament）; canon （CSJ social science）; theologians （DiAngelo， Kendi， Brown， Crenshaw， MacIntosh， etc。）; and catechism （"say their names"）。Baucham demonstrates throughout the book that the advocates of Critical Race Theory， teach that any rejection of their ideology is a clear demonstration of their own racism。 One cannot in fact argue against CRT without being called a racist， for they reject all attempts at refutation， by turning the accusation of racist back to their critics。 The very heart of antiracism is the fact that there is no neutrality。 Baucham writes， "antiracism means more than simply being "against racism。" The new definition adds the dimension of activism。 The antiracist， therefore， is one who "does the work" of exposing， combatting， and reversing the ubiquitous influences of racism in the past， present， and future。" So one is either a racist， or an antiracist。He returns to the autobiography later in the book， as he recounts the genesis of the "Dallas Statement" and Resolution 9 at the 2018 Southern Baptist Convention。 In both instances， evangelicals witnessed a "fault line" with leading evangelicals on both sides of the fault line， with many others remaining silent--especially in the case of the Dallas Statement。 The results have thus far been very concerning， to say the least， but likely the worst is yet to come。 Critical Social Justice is ensconced in most of the evangelical institutions， whether it be churches， schools， colleges， seminaries， and mission organizations。 The results will be devastating for everyone， as Baucham demonstrates， ironically with the words of President Obama， in chapter 8， showing that it is the black family， or lack thereof， that is at fault--particularly the fatherlessness in black culture。 If this remains unaddressed， the problems will only deepen。 In addition， opponents of Critical Social Justice will continue to be alienated， intimidated into silence， have their livelihoods threatened， and potentially much worse， as the movement gains even more influence。 But Baucham encourages his readers to continue the fight， remembering we're not fighting against flesh and blood and that we have truth on our side。All in all this is an excellent， timely book。 I doubt many that have already embraced CT/CRT/Intersectionality/Social Justice will be persuaded by this book， but the book will serve two purposes。 First， those that are already opposed to it， will be strengthened and encouraged in the fight。 Second， some that may be moving toward it will be called back。 May God strengthen his church！ 。。。more

Good work by Voddie Baucham here。 He has written a helpful book on the major concerns the Church should have about the Social Justice movement。 He raised his concerns while being honest and fair。 He believes this movement is a serious threat to the gospel and mission of the church。 I tend to agree with his assessment。 This book is worth your time and consideration。

It is genuinely shocking to me that this book made it to publication。 It is poorly sourced， poorly reasoned， doesn’t define its terms， and doesn’t support any of the claims that it makes。 The only people who will find it convincing are those who agree with its conclusions already。

First of all I would state that this is an important book for Christians to read。 Baucham clearly sees and expresses the unbiblical nature of Critical Theory in all its manifestations （primarily CRT） and its twin brother intersectionality （oops， binary term）。 His heart breaks for the fractured relationships and churches that he has seen and believes， and I think properly， that we are nowhere near the end of this phenomenon。 The reader sees his passion for the church to think and act Biblically r First of all I would state that this is an important book for Christians to read。 Baucham clearly sees and expresses the unbiblical nature of Critical Theory in all its manifestations （primarily CRT） and its twin brother intersectionality （oops， binary term）。 His heart breaks for the fractured relationships and churches that he has seen and believes， and I think properly， that we are nowhere near the end of this phenomenon。 The reader sees his passion for the church to think and act Biblically regarding these very real issues of racial injustice and his rather unique experience has exposed him to harsh criticism from both sides。 There is something I wish he would have spent a little more time on and that is the necessity of the church to revive a compelling narrative for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and then be faithful to that narrative。 Data and its interpretation will not change anyone's entrenched mind。 We view the same data and reach opposite conclusions。 Why？ I read this in the April 24， 2021 issue of World Magazine in an editorial column by Sophia Lee regarding immigration and the mess at the southern border。 "Many of the same right-wing folks expressing concern for mothers and children huddled under a cold bridge didn't shed a tear when an even worse border crisis happened during the Trump administration。 The same left-wingers who sobbed about "children in cages" and excoriated Trump on social media are now blaming larger systemic problems。 But then， what's new？ Politics is about who weaves the most compelling， emotive narrative。 It's not reason and nuance that rile us human beings， but moral instincts and emotional judgment。" This is spot on。 Our spouting data and nuanced versions of what happened is getting the church nowhere because people on both sides do not want to change their minds from their dominant narrative， no matter what the truth is。 But Baucham's understanding of the issues and the demand of maintaining Biblical orthodoxy and compassionate practices is right on target。 Regardless of what the world thinks or does， the church and individual Christians have an obligation to the authority of the Scriptures and to act accordingly。 This puts us in neither red/blue， progressive/conservative categories。 We follow the risen Christ who calls us to deny ourselves， pick up our cross and follow Him。 Wherever He leads。Highly recommend this book！ 。。。more

The first book I’ve read by him。 It was excellent。 He makes the case that so many evangelical leaders are unwilling to make。 He does so in a matter of fact， documented way。 He does it without name calling。 The question is what we do with it？ Which side of the fault will we stand。 As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord。 I’m buy this for our churches elders。

Interesting read。 I do appreciate Voodies perspective and though process。 This book has quite a few insights and helpful areas。 If nothing else it give an intro to critical race theory。 I might not agree with all his conclusions but I do agree with his point that metanarraives outside scripture are not compatible with scripture。 If nothing else it has caused me to consider the implications of accepting secular thoughts in this area。
