What To Read about Conspiracy Theory
Ihave been doing a lot of thinking and writing about conspiracy theory, and it’s all Carl Trueman’s fault. I got an advance copy of his forthcoming book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self and enjoyed it so much that I decided to go back and read some of his other books. Next on my list was Histories and Fallacies, which concerns historical method. His thoughts on Holocast Denial sparked some questions about conspiracy theory, and from there I was off to the races.

We are now living in a world in which people would rather believe implausible conspiracy theories than they would face reality. What should concern church leaders is that these conspiracy theories are not only leading the members of their congregations but also their fellow church leaders away from Jesus and his teaching.
