A few weeks ago, it became evident that Logos Software, a widely used sermon preparation resource, was selling erotica on its website. Their website sells over 100000 books, so this was framed as an oversight between them and the publishers that they work with. Evidently, the response from Logos has been underwhelming in the last few weeks as Protestia did a recent follow-up that pointed out how many of the estimated 4000 erotic books have not actually been pulled from the site. However, there is a more glaring issue with Logos, and it is their heavy emphasis on books written by theological liberals.
The Current Thing
Currently, on Logos, they are emphasizing a campaign to preorder Jesus and The Power by NT Wright and Michael Bird. Wright is a theological liberal who pushed, as one of the initial signatories, the evil Biologos Statement that pushed Christians to get the Covid jab to “love your neighbor.” Biologos is an organization founded by Francis Collins, the man largely responsible for COVID-19 and the response, dedicated to theistic evolution and other liberal theologies.
Michael Bird is the Russell Moore of Australia and is functionally pro-abortion. So the two of them have written a book on Christians and politics despite their abysmal records on the subject matter.
Anti-White Ideology
But the history of Logos promoting woke material goes back much further. To say that they have dabbled in Critical Race Theory would be an understatement.
It’s one thing to carry woke titles under the guise of being a bookstore (more on that below), however, these woke books peddling Critical Race Theory were prominently marketed for Black History Month.
A Christian Bookstore?
The idea that peddling erotica was a mere oversight holds less water given the publishers that Logos works with and does not work with. For instance, Stephen Wolfe’s The Case For Christian Nationalism sold tens of thousands of copies and shaped the Christian Nationalist movement, but zero books were sold via Logos. This is because Logos has no partnership with Canon Press or smaller orthodox publishers. They do however have relationships with Eerdmans and Inter-Varsity Press, two apostate publishers who peddle heretical books.
Of all the books on Christian Nationalism, they only have one, an upcoming release carried by Eerdmans.
It seems as though Logos and its parent company, the Faithlife Corporation, are much more scrupulous about their platform than they let on when deflecting the questions of erotica on their bookstore. After all, this company places a heavy emphasis on selling woke reading material.
Many Christian institutions vocally embraced wokeness during it’s height in 2020 and 2021. Logos is yet another disappointing example of a Christian ministry getting captivated by vain ideologies.
