Despite once lambasting Christianity Today for its compromise with the world, Russell Moore would sell out and eventually, in the process, become its editor-in-chief. As it is now the end of the year, outlets love to award books that were published throughout the year. Russell Moore announced that Gavin Ortlund’s book What It Means To Be Protestant was awarded Book of the Year, despite a clear conflict of interest.
Most people who read Christianity Today are probably unaware that Russell Moore and Gavin Ortlund got to the same church which introduces a level of bias when handing out awards. Both Moore and Ortlund serve on the leadership of Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee, alongside Sam Allberry and Ray Moore, the former being a gay activist and the latter being a flaming liberal.
Gavin Ortlund has undergone a lot of scrutiny for his liberalism this year. In January, Ortlund would defend his local flood belief, dishonestly citing Josefus in the process. Megan Basham’s Shepherds For Sale highlighted Gavin Ortlund as ideal packaging for a liberal attempt to subvert Evangelicals to a dystopian climate agenda. Ortlund and other “Christian” YouTubers circled the wagons, but Megan Basham’s summer blockbuster book was ahead of the Overton Window on Gavin Ortlund, evidently.
The game of best book at Christianity Today appears rigged, in favor of networking among liberals over merit. If Gavin ORtlund were orthodox, Russell Moore and Christianity Today would never consider him for such an award.

Gavin exists to slide Protestants into the Tiber. He literally argues on his youtube that Protestants should start calling Mary “Mother of God” and begin believing in transubstantiation. Then he also attacks belief in the flood being universal. And I won’t forget him attacking MacArthur for not shutting down his church during the coof. And his smarmy libtard “I’m gonna hypnotize you” way of speaking makes me want to puke.
