Publisher's Summary
A famed preacher, professor, and cultural anthropologist reveals the cancer of woke theology that has permeated seminaries and that threatens the evangelical church itself. Plus a call to all Christian congregations to eschew the lure of critical theory and hold to the path of an individual relationship with God.
USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
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 audiobook, 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 audiobook will provide the clarity and understanding you need to either hold your ground, or reclaim it.

Insightful and powerful
If you are a Bible-believing Christian and also hold to CRT or intersectionality, I dare you to read this book and honestly evaluate your position in light of the facts and in light of Scripture. You'll be doing yourself a favour!

I'm not sure I can buy everything this author says
The author posits that we should rely on Jesus to reconcile all sin (including racism) rather than social justice and CRT. However, claims all Christians should vote republican (apparently at all cost) in order to get anti-abortion laws passed. This inconsistency here was hard to swallow.
Ironically Voddie argues that Christians need to defend the his one true interpretation of the Bible, which only happens to put him (as a straight male) at the top, with vigor. But I'm not sold on the why.
still, an interesting read

AMAZING
I am so thankful for Voddie Baucham’s heart and ministry. His voice and message are much needed in these troubling times. Fault Lines is academic, theological, and full of storytelling. Baucham makes a good case against social justice and Critical Race Theory. Most importantly, he explains how it is infiltrating, dividing, and causing catastrophy in the church. I enjoyed his perspective, he is a credible source, seeing that he is a black man. Lastly, I want to point out that I truly appreciated how he debunked many myths pertaining to what is widely accepted in culture in many churches. May God bless and protect Voddie!

old definitions limit validity of argument
The author uses a very specific, very narrow, 1980s definition of Critical Race Theory (CRT); with no regard as to how this theory (or any other theory for they matter) has changed in the last 50 years. His arguments would have made more sense 50 years ago than they do today. The theory / terms and issues he critiques are not the same as the ones we see today in the year 2023. Half a century of changing definitions and understandings makes a big difference - I'm not sure his arguments apply given that he uses definitions/terms that are now understood differently and have a changed meaning to the "general lay population".
His academic approach is admirable. It would only be made more substantial by applying his analysis to the modern use of terms and definitions such as CRT, but alas, this has yet to be done.

A must listen for evangelicals
This books is necessary. It will be the second most important book you read this year following the Bible.
Something is shifting beneath our feet, whether you have sensed it already or not. This book accurately uses the metaphor of a fault line and earthquakes throughout. This is much of what I have felt over the last few years. Maybe you have felt it too but didn’t have words to label what was happening. Or maybe you do already know something about critical race theory and intersectionality, but you see it as just a tool and you are wondering why some are making such a fuss.
This book will explain all of that and more.
I am so grateful for Brother Voddie for having written this book and made it available through so many mediums. It is well researched and explained and written with lay people in mind.
My only complaint is that Brother Voddie does not read his own books himself. What a voice! No other reader can do it justice as well as an author can do for their own words; and his voice in particular is a favorite to listen to. Much like RC Sproul, when he teaches its like sitting with a favorite uncle as he makes things plain to understand.
Please buy this book.

Powerful Work
Fault Lines is a much-needed read for today’s society. Dr. Baucham systematically dismantles the arguments and opinions of the CRT/CSJ cult movement. He brings statistics, true stories and uses the self-incriminating words and presuppositions of their leaders to bring just condemnation to their agenda. If you have any ability to hear and recognize truth, I will implore you to read (or listen to) this book by Dr. Baucham. As a Christian, I very much appreciate his use of scripture in critical points to invalidate the agenda and his honesty concerning the church’s responsibility in allowing it to manifest over time. The fault lines are not just found in society but within today’s church walls and body.

A Must Read For Church Members
I was pleased to get some autobiographical content early on in the audio book. I fell in love with Voddie Baucham's Mom in Chapter 1. Baucham is unflinching in his criticism of Social Justice ideology, but maintains a spirit of speaking the truth in love- loving his ideological opponents enough to point out their errors in the light of Scripture without engaging in petty or slanderous attacks. Too bad his opponents have not all followed his example. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the Social Justice movement and its incredible impact on culture in general, and churches specifically. If you are involved in a local church to any extent, it behooves you to be informed on the topic of Social Justice, and to do so with a foundation of Scriptural truth, not as the culture attempts to dictate to us.
The narration by Mirron Willis is excellent. My hearing is not the best, so I greatly appreciate his clear enunciation, despite mispronouncing some words that should have been caught by an editor.

Absolutley Essential Book for our Time
Voddie Baucham expertly, directly, and winsomely exposes the utter bankruptcy of critical theory and its related components in this book. He also humbly and legitimately associates the many, many influential people in evangelicalism who have become adherents and proponents of an ideology that is antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank God for appointing this brother in the Lord to be able to address this issue in such a powerful way.

A presentation of current state of affairs
This book is an excellent resource to understand how the social justice movement is not a replacement for the Gospel. Baucham’s thoroughness and research has presented a case for all to be aware of the danger looming ahead within the Church.
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)
“And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant then repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.” (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

Outstanding and Simple review of the data
Baucham has something to say about critical theory, intersectionality, and the secular religion they belong to. And he is no Johnny-come-lately. For decades he has understood the cultural Marxism of the academy. His concern in this book is the church.
Fault Lines, as in the place where tectonic plates intersect, are appearing beneath the feet of church going believers. On one side of the divide are important and respected pastors. On the other side? The same. Who is right?
The book is well written, coherent, and convincing. Baucham names names, and pulls no punches. But he leaves throwing sucker punches. He leaves out invective and pejoratives. He is serious and makes his case. No more, no less.
The narration is just right. The listening never lags.

Outstanding!
There is so much depth here, from the author's engaging, inspiring, and insightful life story to his extremely careful arguments about the false religion promoted by critical race theory and also his clear and honest insight about his experience as a black American man, this book is pure gold. This will be one of only 3 or 4 books in my library that will get multiple listens. Every American of every background should read this book.

Excellent work from a brilliant, God-fearing Man!
I am a new fan of Voddie and I feel blessed to have found him. Voddie speaks Gods Truth in Love. Not only is he willing to “talk the talk”... his life exemplifies “walking the walk”. God bless you Pastor Baucham and your beautiful family. I hope to hear you speak in person someday.
