"'Fake news,' conspiracy theories, misleading claims, lies peddled as facts, facts dismissed as lies--we're all familiar with the distressing evidence of our knowledge crisis. In Untrustworthy, Bonnie Kristian brings rare insight, charity, and wisdom to this pressing problem, clearly showing how we got here and, more importantly, suggesting concrete ways of working through the impasses tearing our churches, and our polity, apart."
--Damon Linker, author of The Theocons and The Religious Test

"Untrustworthy reminds us that our search for 'whatsoever is true' requires humility, courage, and love, and calls us toward a tenacious pursuit of these virtues. Readers will find a powerful invitation to advocate for truth and goodness in an unmoored age, one in which epistemological questions and doubts confront us at every turn. Bonnie offers deep philosophical insights, incisive political commentary, and a wealth of practical wisdom in this timely book."
--Grace Olmstead, author of Uprooted: Recovering the Legacy of the Place We've Left Behind

"This book is vitally important. Kristian is a first-rate journalist who is uniquely able to sift through the layers of today's truth crisis and help guide faithful Christians to know how to pursue knowledge and understand the times in ways that are in obedience to the lordship of Christ. She skillfully gets at the motivations that have caused a sense of distrust and alienation that drives us to extremes. This is a book the American church desperately needs and that pastors have been asking for. I'd urge you to give it a careful read and pass it on to anyone in your sphere of influence."
--Daniel Darling, director of The Land Center for Cultural Engagement, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of A Way with Words
